Choose a language that can be used in multiple platforms (very important for a Java project) Ensure that as many steps are automated. Begin with a full clean up and allow full build and deployment to the server Automate even server restart to increase developer efficiencyEach build should ensure that it recompiles all classes and optionally fetches latest code from the repository Stale references to others code is the most frequent offense among developers. So use the build script to enforce some discipline too While writing a build script, one needs to take care of small short cuts that can help in a faster build and deployment Deploy only HTML and JSP Deploy only compiled java classes Do only a restart Deploy only properties files This is not a default option and one should not spend time at this in the beginning. This is a step more relevant to iterative improvement of the build script Post navigation
