builder

A builder is a 'build tool' external to Bamboo. Build tools are difficult to define, since the range of features can differ significantly from one build tool to the next. In essence though, a build tool is a source code compiling utility that generates compiled executable files (referred to as artifacts in Bamboo). Build tools typically have their own form of scripting language and an ability to manage dependencies correctly. Bamboo supports multiple builders. Once a builder is defined in the Bamboo system, it can then be specified in Plans and Jobs by a Bamboo administrator.
