As far as I can tell, both the lubega and cruise control systems operate
remotely.  I don't see any reason why they can't coexist.

Nothing wrong with a little diversity, right?

It's not initiated on checkin though, it polls the CVS repository
for changes and will initiate the build once the changes have settled
down.  This is all configurable in cruisecontrol.

If the build fails then cruisecontrol will email the people who checked
in code since the previous checkout.  The idea is that this should be
frequent enough to catch small amounts of changes which cause problems.

I've introduced cruisecontrol here so that we can automate builds
and testing.  It has been good for us as we are a small team.

Having said all that, I'm not sure that there is any benefit of using
this in jboss if there is already a mechanism to build on a regular
interval (which there is).  If you were starting from scratch then I
would certainly recommend cruisecontrol but why change if your current
mechanism is sufficient?
