The Philosophy of AndCooperANT

If you visit most android developer forums you find android developers from all areas of development. Some are web developers, some are MS.NET developers, some are java developers, some are JavaEE developers, some are CS students, etc. Among those many groups there is not a common thread of using a continuous integration build server.  With [...]

AndCooper 0.1 Alpha Release, Tonight

The Andr0id Java Application Build tool called AndCooper is being released tonight as 0.1 Alpha. Included with this release is a modifid PMD.jar with a very alpha PMD ruleset for Andorid that goes beyond the PMD Android ruleset. No matter what Continuous Integration server you may be running its just simple drop the stuff in [...]

AndCooper and Hudson Integration

Image via Wikipedia First, thanks to my blog comment posters.  Yes, I can see why the desire to run AndCooper in Hudson Continuous Integration Server as its easy to set up and get started. While we do not have Hudson plugins for JSLint, Jdepend, Classycle, JCSC, DocCheck, and etc I can set up AndCooper specific [...]

AndCooper Reports Refactoring

I am in the final phases of refactoring the reports look for AndCooper and the 0.1 release of AndCooper should be shortly.

I am now on the Report Writer code portion of AndCooper development. On one hand I could easily state that it should  be in groovy and a separate project. The problem is that fragments it in certain ways that I do not like. If I choose to embedd the groovy code in the ANT script [...]

Perfect Continuous Integration Server

Last year, 2008 or 2007,  I had the idea of integrating Tiddlywiki with Eclipse to somewhat drive the build/development process. However, for whatever reason that is just too brittle of a combination. But, picture this an Eclipse Continuous Integration Server. You start with e4 project as the front end combined with RCP. Than of course [...]

What is a Mini-Continuous Integration Server for Android

Image via CrunchBase When I started developing AndCooper I certainly did not intend to build a continuous integration server. But, along the way it seemed that Android Application development might need one. Not in the sense that it attempts to solve all problems but problems that are specific to Android Application Development. What does a [...]
