Rant is a simple tool I’ve been working on here and there, and it’s at a place where I’d love to get some eyes on it.

Rant is a mashup of ANT and Ruby for the best of both worlds. Ant is useful for a lot of little tasks – setting up hierarchal chains of execution, executing scripts, moving files, generate templates etc. But then there are times when I wish I could just script parts of the build process. Now you can with Rant. As mentioned, it’s a mashup of ant and ruby. During the build process, an entry point into a ruby file is made that allows you to execute commands, which can be whatever you think of in ruby.

Rant is an all around build tool for those developing projects in Flash or Flex, but don’t want to use Flash IDE or Flex Builder.

Currently I’ve only been able to test this on a Mac, and am looking for some eyes to make sure this works in Windows / FlashDevelop. Give it a shot! Download it here.

Please check out the readme file as well. This is a great place to start.
