How To... Migrate a Project

This document is intended to help you to migrate an existing project to the Centipede build system. It does not attempt to teach you what each component in the Centipede Build System does, rather it is aimed at getting you up and running quickly. When you want to do some clever customisation stuff you will need to delve into the more in depth manuals (when they get written) and the mailing lists.

In this tutorial we assume that you have an ongoing project, complete with Ant build file. If you have a project with no build files as yet you will be better served by the How To on Starting a Project. If you have a project with some other build system then I recomend you read both these How To's, this should at least get you started with migrating your project.

You should also have downloaded the Centipede package and unpacked it to a convenient directory.

This tutorial is written against Version 1.0b2 of Centipede, later versions may differ. If you find an inconsistency please let me know, or better still fo ahead and improve on this document, send any changes to me and I will include them in the next version
