Ant

1.9.3

Apache

A Java-based build system. Low level: it provides tasks and lets you design your workflow. Still using it for massive source file edits, to change version numbers using regular expressions. This task is super fast and easy to configure.

gradle

5.4.1

Apache 2

A build framework based on Groovy. Easy to write workflows and build processes. Can use Maven and other plugins. I use it to create distribution artifacts, and sometimes for Java projects as well.

latexmk

4.6.3b

GPL2

Fully automates the build of LaTeX documents. It handles all tools (latex, bibtex/biber, makeidx, etc.) in the right order and number of calls. Can be configured for specific needs.

make

Build automation system using macros. This first one I ever used, still writing makefile, sometimes. I am using gmake, the GNU version of make.

Maven

3.5.4

Apache 2

Framework to manage software projects, main focus on building artifacts (including reports and websites and documentation). Main strength is in the extensibility with plugins. The sites for the SKB projects are all build using Maven and the site plugin.

SKB-Dashboard

0.0.0

Apache 2

An extension to the SKB-Framework, with tasks for processing acronyms and references (from the SKB data).

SKB-Framework

0.0.3

Apache 2

My own automation framework. It is based on the concept of tasks, which can require parameters and have dependencies. Combinations of tasks can form a flow, described by a scenario. The framework is written in bash, runs on any UNIX system (though not on standard DOS or Windows, use WSL or Cygwin in that case).
