Quickly Setup New Projects Using SVN

We have a standard directory structure for each of our projects:
PLAIN TEXT
CODE:

projectname

/docs

/testing

/build

/priv

/pub

Testing contains our Selenium scripts (and in the future - unit testing scripts). Build contains our Ant scripts.
At the office I'm in charge of setting up new SVN repositories and one of the things I've done to speed up [...]

Wacky Wiki

OK. The wiki may be a bit wacky for the next few days. Awhile ago I switched from Dokuwiki to Mediawiki. Mainly just to try out Mediawiki and get familiar with how it worked.
It is very powerful - but it's a bit of a pain to update, and extensions seem [...]

Ant. The Missing Files…

I wanted to post a follow up after my ColdFusion Meetup Ant presentation, especially for those who couldn't attend. In addition to the example files and Powerpoint slides included in the ZIP download I have bundled all the 'extra' files that don't come with Ant by default... Files to provide additional Ant tasks [...]

What Time Is It? CFMeetup?

Well - it's 6:00pm but unfortunately I can't get on the CFMeetup Connect site. Charlie mentioned he had a busy schedule today so I imagine he's running late or possibly had some technical difficulties... I'm going to stick around for 30 minutes or so because I don't have anything else to [...]

Have you checked out CFMeetup? These are online presentations covering a wide range of topics. Charlie Arehart has done a great job in getting some great people to present.
He's been bugging me for a LONG time to do something on Ant. I've finally caved in and will be doing [...]

Ant Wiki

Tonight I spent a bit of time reorganizing the Ant page on my wiki. Previously I had things broken down by author but it wasn't very easy to find things. I've now changed things around and organized everything by categories and hopefully it'll be easier to navigate.
If you know of any good Ant [...]

A Few Ant Gotchas Using External Property Files (on Windows)

After watching John Paul Ashenfelter's Pragmatic ColdFusion: Build, Test, Deploy preso I decided to try hacking up one of my Ant build scripts to use an external property file. It seemed like this would be a bit more flexible.
I initially just copied all my property statements from my build.xml's "init" target to my external [...]
