Hi Yoav,
Thanks for the information , Currently i am evalutaing the pro version and
given we are using Microsft TFS build server , it is currently not
supported by Artifactory.
So if you guide me through the process of integrating artifactory ci plugin
that will be really a deal maker.
Thanks much
Raj
