NMaven

�

Home�Page

Categories:	Builds
Latest version:	0.2
Description:	Provides Maven 2.x plugins to support building of .NET applications. Technically, NMaven is its own framework that provides the correct .NET compiler based on the environment (vendor/language/operating system). This framework allows the developer to add additional compiler support by implementing the NetCompiler interface and providing a compiler-plugins.xml file in the project directory. NMaven leverages Maven (and its plugin architecture) for the build lifecycle. So you can think of NMaven as a small compiler-plugin-framework on top of the larger Maven build-framework. Features include: - Mono support: C#, Nemerle, PHP - Microsoft support: C#, VB - Pluggable architecture for adding new compilers - Automatic generation of AssemblyInfo.* based on language and contents of the POM

ILMerge

Categories:	Builds Compilation
Author:	Michael Barnett
Latest version:	2.8.0202
Description:	Command-line and library utility for merging multiple .NET assemblies into a single .NET assembly. It works on executables and DLLs alike. It comes with several options for controlling the processing and format of the output. ILMerge is a utility that can be used to merge multiple .NET assemblies into a single assembly. ILMerge takes a set of input assemblies and merges them into one target assembly. The first assembly in the list of input assemblies is the primary assembly. When the primary assembly is an executable, then the target assembly is created as an executable with the same entry point as the primary assembly. Also, if the primary assembly has a strong name, and a .snk file is provided, then the target assembly is re-signed with the specified key so that it also has a strong name. ILMerge is packaged as a console application. But all of its functionality is also available programmatically. While Visual Studio does not allow one to add an executable as a reference, the C# compiler does, so you can write a C# client that uses ILMerge as a library.

IncrediBuild

Categories:	Builds
Author:	Xoreax Software
Latest version:	3.01
Description:	Distributes compilations over several machines to speed up Visual C++ (6.0, .NET and 2005) compilation and build time. IncrediBuild integrates with Visual Studio and also provides a command line interface. IncrediBuild splits C++ project compilation into smaller tasks that are executed simultaneously. The two components involved in this process are Agents and the Coordinator: - Agents are responsible for two functions: Issuing build requests, and sharing the distributed workload. Agents are typically installed on workstations and servers used for running builds, as well as on non-development PCs that can be utilized as additional CPU resources for distributed compilation. - Coordinator: typically installed on one machine per working group, the Coordinator is responsible for managing Agent resources in the network.. IncrediBuild does not perform any of the compilation using proprietary code. Instead, it manages distributed execution of Visual C++'s build components.
