Howdy, I've been using Maven till beta4 and I'm anxious to finally see Continuum. We currently use a recent Maven with a very tiny patch which reports in a variable the success or failure of build, test build and test results. Then, we use the reactor along with a small velocity page to display the result. The complete build/test is run every few hours. That is far from ideal, and it would be way better to recompile only the needed modules only when a commit occur (I believe that's what continuum does). Anyway, my 2 cents regarding your question would be: there should probably be a CLI for registering/unregistrering projects to build. For a million+ LOC project with hundreds of artefacts, each with several versions, you don't want to have only a WEB interface unless maybe it is sophisticated enough to be configured once for all at the beginning. By the way, is there any place where I can find the features that the first version of continuum will have (or should I just wait for the alpha?). -- Julien --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
