This firstPress book is expected to be first book on the market for Raven. Raven is a build system that leverages Ruby tools (namely Rake and Gems) to let you build Java projects easily and elegantly. It provides a way to handle dependencies and specific tasks for Java, all based on Ruby. These foundations make Raven the most productive and flexible build tool available in open source. It details how to use the emerging open source Raven simply, using examples and explaining the foundations Raven has been built on. It also provides best practices and explains more complex scenarios, allowing you to setup a complete build environment in no time. The intended audience is any Java developer or architect, at the beginner, intermediate or advanced level.

"The book's structure and short length make it easy for the reader to first download the software, and then follow the trail to easier build management. The book describes the origin of Raven and other scripting capabilities. . In conclusion, Raven is shown to be an effective approach to improving Java builds management issues. This book will help users easily decide for themselves how these capabilities fit into their environment." (Scott Moody, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (11), November, 2008)
