A system and method for build script generation in a software development environment. An extensible script generator framework allows for one or more script generators to be plugged into the framework. When the framework is subsequently invoked to build a software project or application, each of the plugged-in generators can be evaluated to see if one or more generators should be applied to that project or application. The applicable generators are then used during the build process to automatically generate a build script. In some embodiments, a command line interface allows the generator framework to be invoked outside of the IDE. Additionally, in some embodiments, the framework allows for the plugin of one or more customizers that can be used to further customize or tweak the build script.

A development-oriented split-source directory structure, that can be used with an application server and which solves a number of the problems associated with traditional Enterprise Archive (EAR) files. In particular, the split-source directory structure presents a clean separation between human-readable source files stored in a source control system and generated java class files. The two directories (source and output) appear like a single application. In addition, the split-source directory structure supports an abstraction layer and mappings that allow a physical file location to be mapped to a virtual location. In this manner, the system provides flexibility in how the build structure can be laid out for a particular application development.
