Nothing is better at building Scala apps than Scala.. Ant is so last century.. time to move to a better build utility.. If you reply and tell me that your build team is not comfortable in dealing with DSLs, I will agree that you are probably right but I bet they are far less comfortable in dealing with heavy verbose XML scripts. :) ilan Or you could alternatively just port over Rake/Capistrano from Ruby (if it hasn’t been done already) which would fit in very nicely with the Scala tools as Scala can be written as a script (and with it’s type inference, it would be relatively comparable to the ruby scripts), and then you would have something much more configurable, readable, and simpler than ant..
