MSBuild RTC tasks?


Mike Johnson (28624221) | asked Jan 25 '11, 6:54 p.m.
We are building a JBE-based CI build using msbuild as the "runner." I'd of course like to use the JBE Ant tasks to do cool JBE things like show progress, etc. I've seen in http://jazz.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9178&highlight=msbuild your suggestions about calling the Ant tasks from a batch file. However, I was wondering if IBM has looked at directly implementing the same kind of JBE Ant tasks, but in MSBuild tasks? Would definitely make our msbuild script "cleaner"... :)

Thanks in advance,
Mike Johnson

Hi Mike,

I am not aware of tasks for MS Build. In 3.x there is new support to run MSBuild directly from a tab in the build definition. In another case where I wanted to provide more information that was not covered with this, I used an ant task to run the steps. I assume you gould also call ant from MSBuild.

Both solutions have trade-offs, of course. There is a lot of effort put into into getting towards equal capabilities with Eclipse. If you think this is an important point and should be considered too please file a work item.
