The Globus Service Build Tools (GSBT) project aims to develop a set of open-source tools that make building
Globus services easier. Right now, the project hosts the following two tools:
- The GT4IDE plugin for Eclipse: An Eclipse
plugin that allows GT4 programmers to develop Java Web Services in an
environment that seamlessly integrates all the steps from coding to
deployment.
- The globus-service-build script:
A general-purpose Ant buildfile and script that, given a set of Java,
WSDL, WSDD, etc. files conforming to a specific directory structure,
will generate a GAR file without the need to manually edit the Ant
file. This is the same Ant buildfile + script included in The GT3 Tutorial and the The GT4 Tutorial.
Although we are currently focusing on these two tools, the GSBT
project will hopefully include a lot of other useful tools in the future. Take a look
at the Wishlist page to see a couple of ideas that have come up. If you want to start the ball rolling on any of those ideas, please contact us. You can also read about other ways you can contribute to the project.
