Adam Monsen updated MIFOSADMIN-163:
-----------------------------------

    Description: 
The current hudson jobs should follow best practices in order to ensure build 
integrity/reproducibility.

# Wipe out workspace or Clean after checkout
# Use private maven repository

See this build for example in which the above are not configured:
https://ci.mifos.org/hudson/job/head-master/configure

This will ensure artifacts that are installed from one builds does not leak 
into another build.

The current hudson jobs should follow best practices in order to ensure build

1) Wipe out workspace or Clean after checkout
2) Use private maven repository

See this build for example in which the above are not configured:

This will ensure artifacts that are installed from one builds does not leak 
into another build.

Implied subtask: publish snapshot artifacts such as mifos-api (or give them 
release versions, and publish those)

       Priority: Critical  (was: Major)

Recently we've learned that this has a huge impact on developer productivity. 
Udai has been working on speeding up the build by creating a slave ci server. 
Allowing head-master to run on the slave required a change in the build 
configuration: not archiving artifacts. Archiving basically keeps backups of 
build products (like the .war and .zip). But when head-master is built on a 
slave, the artifacts must be copied back to the master ci server, and this 
takes a very long time. What Udai did to overcome this was create a 
head-master-archive job. head-master-archive *re-runs* the entire build, 
skipping tests, and archives the artifacts. head-master-archive is tied to the 
master ci server, so we know it will be fast.

However, there are problems with this approach:
* we're promoting untested build products to test servers
* if someone commits during the head-master build, the head-master-archive will 
build *different* code

My proposed solution (captured in MIFOSADMIN-291) is to, at every build step, 
*deploy* artifacts into our nexus maven repository. Not only will this make our 
build(s) more robust (we only build and test a particular binary once), this 
will also speed up every build that relies on the same artifacts, *including 
builds on every developer workstation*!
