My apologies for causing confusion. Hopefully this will clear things up:
Abstract
Tashlin is a lightweight application for composing and executing batch jobs
via a web user interface.
Brief Description
Tashlin allows you to create and run batch jobs in a standalone application
for use cases where you want to automate a set of tasks. It will provide a
simple workflow
which allows users to set up automation up in minutes with provided plugins
for common functionality. This differs from tools like Jenkins in that it
can be used in a
more generic way. Continuous integration is just one of the possibities.
(E.g. integration with SCM or build automation is not a requirement).
Other use cases are Monitoring, Backups, General Process Automation...
The basic idea runs around these concepts:
Recipe: Users will compose recipes. This is a template that will be
executed by a Job
Flow: A recipe contains 2 flows: a buildflow (= will stop when an exception
is thrown) and a feedbackflow (will run, even when exceptions are thrown to
notify interested parties)
Step: A flow will execute a set of steps. Step logic will be provided
through the use of plugins. Step configuration can be configured.
Job: A job will be executed on a specific trigger. (on-demand,
cron-based...) and can contain parameters.
Parameter: A parameter is a value that can be used in a recipe so that
recipes can be reused
Because it has come up on this thread, I'll give continuous integration as
an example.
Let's say I want to setup continuous integration for my maven project.
I create a recipe with 2 build steps ('CheckOut From Subversion', 'Build
With Maven') and 1 feedback step ('Email results').
I create a job using this recipe and providing a parameter 'Goals' with
value 'clean install'
The 'Build With Maven' step will have ${GOALS} as a placeholder, the value
will be provided when executing the recipe (via EL).
Now I can create a 2nd job providing a parameter 'Goals' with value 'clean
test -Dtest=*IntegrationTests' etc.
Keep in mind that this is just a very basic example. The goal of the
project is to bridge the gap for people who simply want to automate stuff
and see the results of it.
I think that a lot of people could benefit from this.
