Clarify Description of Build Agent Attributes
---------------------------------------------
Key: CONTINUUM-2380
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-2380
Project: Continuum
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Distributed Builds, Documentation
Affects Versions: 1.3.4
Reporter: George Snyder
http://continuum.apache.org/docs/1.3.4/installation/build-agent.html says:
"Note that all of your agents need to be identical, as there is no way to
control which agent Continuum chooses.."
This paragraph needs to be rewritten in the context of Build Agent Groups.
Presumably, all the agents within a group must be identical. Or do they just
need to be consistent? For example, if all are using JDK 1.6.0_11, is it OK
for them to specify different locations in 'continuum-buildagent.xml' (e.g.
/usr/jdk/1.6.0_11 on one, /usr/java/1.6.0_11 on another, and so on)?
Also, please clarify the effects of a Build Environment's Installations on a
distributed Build Agent. Are the Installation values passed to the Build
Agent? If so, do they override values in the agent's
'continuum-buildagent.xml', or vice versa?
