What NAnt editors are available?

Question

I am currently writing very little NAnt script, and I would like to know how I can speed up the process?

I am currently editing a script in Visual Studio and then go to the command line to check the output. I like how Visual Studio can be configured to autocomplete your NAnt commands (via xsd), but I'm still testing my scripts on the command line.

Are there any tools that bring it all together? I use Notepad ++ quite a bit, but switch allegiance to another editor that has built-in editing and command line functions.

I suppose I'm looking for something like NAnt Builder ( http://www.nantbuilder.com ), but I really don't want to spend that kind of money when I have a free alternative.

If you use ReSharper , it will handle this for you. And when you look at the overall value that the tool provides (almost any "favorite VS add question" here lists ReSharper at the top), this is a pretty simple solution for this. This link contains a list of features.

A free alternative requiring some customization is Notepad ++ .
