Description Pavel Buzek 2002-02-06 16:39:03 UTC 
Integration of the new projects with external build systems (Ant, Make) has 
been discussed at projects-dev alias. It should be possible to use some of 
these build systems instead of the existing Compiler API.
Comment 1 Pavel Buzek 2002-07-26 10:50:56 UTC 
The projects team has decided that for the 4.0 release we will enhance the build system 
for projects by introducing the concept of Build Targets, build dependencies and by 
making it possible to run the build of a project in a batch mode. The integration with 
an external build system will not be implemented in 4.0.
Comment 2 Jaroslav Tulach 2002-09-30 12:47:38 UTC 
These issues are planned as Sun's "must have" contribution to NetBeans 4.0 and
are considered to be "high level" issues. That is why changing the type to
FEATURE and priority to P1.
Comment 3 David Konecny 2003-01-10 11:10:47 UTC 
I'm closing this issues as WONFIX. At the moment it does not look
realistic that some external build tool could be integrated and
replace internal build system. It is very complicated issue. Approach
implemented for NB4.0 is that projects have their _own_ build system
and into this system any external build systems can be implemented if
they want. See for example Ant integration into projects which does that.

I expect that more concrete and more specific issues will be filed in
future in this area.
Comment 4 Pavel Buzek 2003-07-02 09:19:34 UTC 
pjiricka is doing another round of investigation of how this
requirement could be satisfied. To keep track either reuse this issue
or mark it as a duplicate of a new issue.
Comment 5 Vitezslav Stejskal 2003-11-26 14:17:21 UTC 
As described in
http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=619519&listName=nbdiscuss
the current work on projects prototype has been stopped. Leaving this
open since it is valid feature request.
Comment 6 Jesse Glick 2004-03-19 12:59:26 UTC 
Well this is taken care of I think. :-)
