Abuild is a scalable software build system that applies Object-Oriented principles to the build problem. It is powerful and flexible and helps ensure build integrity while simplifying the user's view of the build. Detailed documentation is available; see links below. Abuild is released under the terms of Version 2.0 of the Artistic License.
There is a SourceForge project for abuild. There you can find downloads, the tracker, and a wiki for abuild.
Version 1.0 was released on February 12, 2008. It can be downloaded from the download area of the SourceForge project. Please note that Java support in abuild version 1.0 is considered alpha and will possibly look quite different in version 1.1.

The creation of abuild would not have been possible without the enthusiastic support of my employer, Argon ST. Argon not only recognized the important role of a strong build tool in contributing to the overall quality and reliability of its software, but saw the value of releasing it to the open source community in hopes of making an even broader contribution. |
Downloadable documentation is available in the download area and is also included in all binary distributions. You can also read it here in several formats:
Abuild Contrib 2007-12-03 has also been released and is available from the download area.
The abuild documentation refers to Xenon, the eclipse plugin for abuild. No public release has yet been made of Xenon. Additionally, we expect to change its name prior to release to avoid conflict with other software packages that are already using that name.
Please see the download area in the SourceForge project.
