SANTA CLARA, EclipseCon-March 5,
2007-OpenMake
Software, the pioneer of build-to-release software management solutions, today
announced that it will provide the process-automation components of its award-winning
OpenMake
build-to-release management solution as a free Eclipse RCP-based application with an
Eclipse plug-in. Process automation is used in the software development
industry to automate and manage ad-hoc build-to-release scripts.
OpenMake Mojo,
available at no cost starting today, provides the ideal automation solution for
development teams seeking software alternatives to BuildForge
or anthillpro.
Mojo is easily integrated with any production environment, regardless of
platform or development
language. Release candidate 1 of Mojo can be downloaded at www.openmakesoftware.com, with general availability
scheduled for April 2. Mojo will also include free access to community support
forums.
"Mojo
is our way of giving every developer the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of
automating processes around their existing build scripts. With a simple
download, development teams can get their build processes under control," said
Steve Taylor, CTO of OpenMake
Software. "And for
those larger enterprise teams that need a comprehensive build-to-release
management solution with Build Services and automated dependency analysis,
OpenMake will continue to provide a logical path for new and innovate software
solutions," he concluded.
Why Use OpenMake Mojo
Developers
code, maintain, manage and orchestrate hundreds of make and Ant scripts to
support their build-to-release processes. In an effort to bring some order to
the chaos, they look to process-automation solutions that can sit on top of
these scripts, create a central place to execute the scripts in a precise order
and log results. OpenMake Mojo provides enterprise-level process automation for
managing the execution of ad-hoc build, testing and deployment scripts. OpenMake
Mojo interoperates with other application lifecycle tools through Adaptors. Adaptors
provide out-of-the-box integration with deployment tools for packaging, testing
tools for test script execution and SCM
tools for check-in, check-out, labeling, Bill-of-Materials reporting and build-difference
reporting. Using OpenMake Mojo, a complete application lifecycle process can be
defined as a workflow and re-executed by any approved user.
OpenMake
Mojo Solves the Automation Problem
Mojo
creates an automated process solution allowing diverse teams to centralize
build-to-release activities, such as SCM
check-out, build script execution, Bill-of-Materials reporting, build-difference
reporting and deployment scheduling. It provides centralized access across
multiple development projects and development platforms with global reporting
and tracking. The following are some of the key OpenMake Mojo product features:
- Automated execution of existing build
scripts
- Real-time monitoring and centralized ALM
logging
- Build metrics and build-difference
reporting
- Adaptors to popular SCM
solutions
- Deployment and testing interfaces
- Eclipse plug-in
In
addition, OpenMake Mojo is upgradeable to support remote workflow execution
using remote build servers, allowing different steps of the workflow to be
executed across the enterprise. OpenMake
Software generates adaptable and dynamic audit-conforming builds
for Java, Visual Studio, Eclipse, IBM
RAD, C, C++, C-Unix, Visual Basic and other development languages.
OpenMake
Mojo offers script adaptors for integrating with SCM
and IDE products such as IBM RAD, IBM
ClearQuest, IBM ClearCase,
Eclipse, Microsoft
Visual Studio, Microsoft .Net, Perforce, MKS
Source, AccuRev, CVS, Subversion,
