Overview of FredoBatch

FredoBatch executes a set of tasks on a set of files:

• a Task is based on Ruby code, with a top method as an entry point. Task can be built-in (provided with FredoBatch) or custom (configured by the user).
• a Set of Files is specified as a combination of lists of files (File List) or open set of files with wild card and filtering on names and extensions (File Set).
• a Job is the combination of sets of files and tasks. This is what is executed by FredoBatch.FredoBatch provides conflict detection and management, allowing team members to be aware of what others are changing to the model, and deciding on how to resolve conflicts if two or more team members modify concurrently the same object(s).
