Developer Tools

AnthillPro provides a number of user and developer tools in addition to the UI. The tools allow any user to install a system tray monitor and provide developers -- via the Dev-kit -- access to the API and Codestation. In addition, there are Visual Studio and Eclipse plugins and preflight builds for developer productivity.

Current AnthillPro tools:

  • Dev-kit. The Dev-kit provides comprehensive documentation on AnthillPro scripting, remoting, using SOAP-based web services with AnthillPro, the AHPTool (command-line tool) and creating your own Plugin for AnthillPro.

  • IDE Plugins. AnthillPro provides IDE Plugins for both Eclipse and Visual Studio. The Plugins enables developers to view the current activity and state of projects, start new builds, map their projects to projects in AnthillPro, and resolve the project's dependency artifacts.

  • Preflight Builds. Allows developers to run a test build in the authoritative build environment before committing their changes to source control.

  • Codestation (Developers). Provides documentation for advanced usage of Codestation, including Ant tasks, the command-line interface, and Codestation properties.
