About Maven (which I see I neglected to mention :-), I'm still learning along with everyone else. Thx for the info Craig.

I am wondering would it be possible to have some nightly script that runs "mvn deploy" automatically. That way one could just grab the latest jar that passed the test succesfully for testing purposes.
That would be a good idea. I thought about doing that for Shale once we switch the Maven build over to the trunk ... let me see if I can set up to do the SAF2 (and maybe even SAF1?) builds with deployment of the snapshots every night. Craig Just like opensymphony's xwork nightly build at

Snapshots are updated only when a developer (or perhaps some nightly script) executes "mvn deploy". 2] In Continuum, is it posible for user to download a particular successful > build, say for example build 15 of action2? Need a Continuum guru to answer that one. 3] If a user wants to get a copy of action2 snapshot, but doesn't have maven > installed, is there a website where he could download the jar from? The repository itself is just a website full of static files, so it would be possible to figure out the correct URLs for the snapshot JARs and publish those. For Shale, in addition to publishing the snapshot JARs themselves, we've got an assembly goal that includes all the dependency JARs in the Shale framework snapshot (see "shale-dist/src/main/assembly/dist.xml" in the "mvn_reorg" branch, soon to be moved to the Shale trunk), and I'd imagine the action2 snapshots would want to do the same thing, so it's a matter of pointing at one particular directory to download one particular file from. Another option (I haven't tried this, but I've seen simpler projects like Commons libraries use it) would be to generate an Ant build.xml file that is (theoretically) equivalent to what Maven would do for you: mvn ant:ant Several of the commons projects periodically generate such a build.xml and check it in to Subversion, providing a convenient mechanism for Ant based customers to build the snapshot from source. But, I've become an M2 convert, so I'm not planning to do this for Shale unless users ask for it :-). Thanks in advance. > > rgds > > > Craig
