OpenMake Meister |
Meister makes it easy to execute your IDE Project build inside of your IDE, and to execute a full build outside of your IDE's control. Meister's IDE integration (Eclipse Plug-in and Microsoft Visual Studio Add-in) monitors changes occurring inside the IDE that may impact the build itself. This means that changes such as refactoring, adding libraries, adding source modules or any modification that requires a change to the build scripts themselves are tracked and monitored by Meister from inside the IDE. Meister then synchronizes those changes with the Pre-commit or continuous build running outside of the IDE. Within the IDE you can execute either an IDE build, or a Meister Pre-commit build. When the Meister Pre-commit build executes it calls a Meister Workflow, which you define, to regenerate the build scripts and to execute a full build of the entire application, not just your single Project. You can configure your Workflow to perform pre and post build activities such as executing tests and deploying objects. This allows you to execute a private "continuous integration" build before you commit your changes to the source repository.
