Raven

Raven is a build system that leverages Ruby tools (namely Rake and Gems) to let you build Java projects easily and elegantly. It provides a way to handle dependencies and specific tasks for Java, all based on Ruby. These foundations make Raven the most productive and flexible build tool available in open source. This firstPress book is expected to be first book on the market for Raven. It details how to use the emerging open source Raven simply, using examples and explaining the foundations Raven has been built on. It also provides best practices and explains more complex scenarios, allowing you to setup a complete build environment in no time.
