Ok, I just found this earlier today, and while I'm sure there are tons of you out there that already knew about it, I am posting this for the ones like me that have never heard of it. The varScoper tool comes with a build file that will allow you to run varScoper as an ANT task. All I had to do was change the path to the files I wanted to scan, and the URL to my local varScoper install, and it ran perfectly.

I'm excited about this, as I think a varScoper check is an awesome thing to have integrated into a build. Plus, seeing how it is done has introduced me to some features of ANT that I was previously unaware of.

Now, after finding this, I can't help but reach out to the CF community and ask, what other cool CF tools come with pre-written build files?

As I mentioned in my previous post, I've started working with ANT some recently. Like some of you, I'm sure, my foray into the world of ANT came out of necessity. As my duties here at work increased, I began to take on more and more responsibility in terms of managing code bases, sites, and servers. We've got 15 ColdFusion sites spread across 10 servers, and then our main site sits on a cluster of 8 CF servers. Factor in our testing and staging environment as well, and it's safe to say we've got a lot of code in a lot of places.
