Yes, there are significantly better tools for creating and altering the runtime properties of bar files.
They ship with the product.
mqsicreatebar
mqsiapplybaroverride
And, of course, one can indeed use ant to script these, and yes, Ant is a reasonably popular tool for doing it. |

Ant scripts are generic is that they can build anything.
Ant scripts within a project / development / WMB environment are generic in that they can build everything (i.e. you don't have a separate script for each flow).
Unless I've misunderstood you.

We have one Ant script that builds ten bar files from within one project. We have a second Ant script that overrides these bar files for various environments.
BuildForge automation provides Continuous Integration using these Ant scripts.

Pretty neat, huh?

@Vitor:
I dont want to write the ant script again, if someone has already written it and shared it somewhere like a developer works link I had in my original post.
Exactly like the one lancelotlinc has written for his own company. Like the second Ant script which looks pretty generic!! |

You can not possibly compile Message Broker artifacts without using the Broker Toolkit. Even mqsicreatebar uses the Toolkit.
Trying to compile Message Broker artifacts without using the Toolkit is like trying to compile C code without a c-compiler or Java without using javac.
So you can not possibly create a generic tool that will create a bar file from scratch.
A bar file is otherwise just a zip file, and it's a relatively simple task to write "generic" code that will unzip a bar file and update the broker.xml file - in the way that the lublinsky program does. I've got a nifty tool lying around that does some fun things that way.
But there's very little value in writing something like this, when it is a license-free event to install and use Toolkit and Toolkit provides all of the capabilities you need and you can open a PMR if something goes wrong.
You're trying to be too clever. |

google will probably find you Dave Spriet's devworks article, which is a much better source than the lublinsky article.
and I think it's possible I may have babbled about ant recently too, in connection with mqsicreatebar.... |
