I've been the in charge of cruise control for the
project I'm working on an I have to say I'm not too
impressed with it.
It doesn't add any value over just using ant and a
cron job. The requirement for a servlet container is
useless, the xsl provided doesn't tell you any useful
information so you end up rolling your own anyways.
The only thing it really gives you is the ability to
track who made changes since the last build but this
is useless IMO. It is supposed to be a blame system
but doesn't work when there is lots of activity.
Also the custom label incrementer support doesn't work
well with dates (IMHO) and you have very poor control
over when builds happen, especially if you are commit
happy (like me). Also, if your builds are failing you
get spammed with failures over the weekend (even with
no CVS activity).
I haven't used GUMP yet but from my lurking here I
believe it to be superiour to CC.
Sorry to be critical of the CC project but I believe
it is on the wrong track.
