hi there! here are some answers:
- there are of course config files for everything behind the scenes in jenkins, but (*cough*) unlike in CC you can nicely configure anything from the UI, so there are rare cases where you need to fiddle with XML or the like. - we are using MSBuild, devenv directly and also tooling like IncrediBuild on Jenkins. So, yes, all of this works fine. - I don't know of specific windows samples, but it's really quite easy. Getting the basics set up is IMHO more of a job in the beginning than later on setting up the actual builds. - SVN publisher is not java only. it's unfortunately not too mature. Some time ago we applied some patches on our own. Be sure to read the appropriate wiki pages. - you surely can use CMD scripts if something doesn't suite yuo, I for myself however would try to go along with the appropriate plugins. Just browse the Jenkins plugins site, there's one for really nearly everything. Also, you type the batch-commands directly in the UI, so there's only virtually a CMD file behind the scenes (it gets generated on the fly). Operations are in order as you inserted them. In general, I'd recommend you to run your Jenkins locally on your machine first (a matter of <1 min of effort, really) and get your hands wet with the first experiments before you go "live".

Tried Cruisecontrol.net, very hard to figure everything out. Is there a file behind the scenes in Jenkins, like the ccnet.config file in CCnet? I am using this as a service on Windows. We have VB.net and C++ projects. I can use MSBuild for the VB stuff, but msbuild does not work well for c++ (Visual Studio 2008), can you use devenv in Jenkins (or what)? Can you point me to any related windows examples? I have the VB build working in Jenkins, now trying to get the binaries into SVN. Is SVN Publisher only for Java projects,if not any examples how to do? Is a windows cmd file the way to go using "SVN commit"? If you create steps in the wrong order, how to get them in correct order, (delete and re-create, or edit the behind the scenes file (if there is one))? If you have spaces in the paths like "Program files", do you have to use quotes (URLs and paths)?
