buildprocess > builderaser

Purpose

Most of JEE applications and build tools generate a lot of file :

• log files
• reports files
• temporary files
• old archive files
• etc ...

This kind of files take place of storage area and the JEE administrator need to check the available space and delete old files.
BuildEraser is a tool to auto-delete this kind of files.
Files are selected using pattern (based on the filename or the file last modification date) on different filesystems (local or remote such as FTP, SFTP, etc).

The JEE administrator defines the BuildEraser model (crons, locations, include/exclude patterns).
