At least one builder was automatically configured when you installed Bamboo¹. You can configure more by defining builder capabilities. Bamboo supports the following types of builders:
- Ant
- Maven
- Maven 2
- NAnt
- devenv.com
- msbuild.exe²
- Custom command (e.g. 'make')
- Script
 | The builders listed above are supported out-of-the-box. If you need to use a different builder, a number of third-party Builder plugin modules are available (e.g. NoseXUnit builder). You can also create your own Builder plugin (see the Bamboo Plugin Guide for details). |
You can define a new builder capability for:
Note that if an agent has its own specific builder capability, the value will override the value of a shared builder capability of the same name (if one exists).
Once you have configured a new builder capability in your Bamboo system, its label (e.g. 'Ant') will appear in the 'Builder' drop-down list on the 'Build Resources' tab when you configure a build plan (see Specifying a Plan's Builder). The builder that you select when you configure a plan will be used for every build that is executed for that plan. That is, the plan can only be built by agents which have a builder capability whose label is specified in the plan's 'Builder' field.
¹ This depends on the system environment variables (e.g. 'ANT_HOME=/opt/java/ant') that were present on the machine on which Bamboo was installed:
- On the Bamboo server, environment variables that were present during installation were saved as local server capabilities in Bamboo.
- On remote agents, environment variables that were present during installation were saved as agent-specific capabilities in Bamboo.
² You will need to install the .NET framework SDK and reference the default path for msbuild.exe, (e.g. C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework*64*\v2.0.50727), to use this builder.
