Open Source Build Systems in Java

JAM consists of a collection of Ant scripts designed to perform common Java/J2EE build tasks such as compilation, packaging, testing, deployment and J2EE application server control. JAM combines Mavens high-level project description and repository features (via a Maven-to-Ant bridge) with the low-level capabilities of Ant. By assembling JAM modules, one is able to quickly create sophisticated IDE-independent build scripts. JAM supports various J2EE application servers, XDoclet invocation, JUnit unit testing, Apache Cactus integration testing, UML-based code generation and other technologies.
