NAntBuilder Editor's Review

NAntBuilder is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for NAnt (software tool for automating software build processes). The application is targeted at the .NET runtime environment.

You can use NAnt builder to author, debug and execute NAnt script. This application has code completion for elements, attributes, properties and functions, syntax highlighting, script folding, syntax error view, output highlighting, and so on. You can create, edit, debug and execute NAnt scripts. You can use the in-built web browser to check out NAnt documentation.

Since the application contains its own debugger, there's no need to install Visual Studio.NET to debug NAnt. '.build' files, created with 'NAntBuilder' can be recognized by Visual Studio.NET.

Pluses:

Drawbacks / flaws:

In conclusion: An excellent NAnt script creator, editor, and debugger.
