Zen and the art of build script maintenance

Build scripts are an essential art in any software project. And yet they are so often fragile, brittle and unportable things, hard to understand and harder to maintain. In this talk, we cover what constitutes a good build script, and look at a few of the essential rules in writing one.

John Smart, creator of the Java Power Tools Bootcamp, will look at general techniques that are applicable to any build scripting technology, as well as some technology-specific tips for Ant and Maven.
