Thanks Wes,
I understand. I guess for me, I'm really looking to automate the
release portion of things. So, when I fix something or commit a change
(to a version already released and deployed), I can just wait at the end
of this big machine (build server) for a new release to be created with
a new build number on it ready to go.
I would think you would want to post snapshots from the CI server to the
repo so that all other developers would be constantly getting the
snapshots of dependent artifacts without someone having to do a deploy.
The CI server is doing the deploy each time there is a SCM change.
Any good place to read more about this stuff? Like how to organize svn
in a way which permits you to fix bugs and create features at the same
time..What version do you leave on the trunk, are you working on new
versions/features in branches, etc. I'd be interested in hearing about
what convention and assumptions maven uses in this regard with the
release module.
thanks,

I use CI to make sure that unit tests all still pass in other
artifacts. For instance, I make changes in artifactA and somewhere
down a dependency chain, artifactB is affected... I may not realize
that my change breaks artifactB, I may not even know that artifactB
exists, but if the CI build shows test failures, someone knows where
to start looking (the changes the initiated the build?).
The CI does push to our nexus repo, but to me the fact that it can do
that is irrelevant.

Hello,
This is likely more of a software engineering related maven question. With
the concept of snapshots and versioned artifacts where would a continuous
build system come into place? How do others use it? I guess you really have
two options, the CI system can produce snapshots or it can produce version'd
releases. I would imagine that you would want to have the CI server publish
these artifacts back to your local internal repository..
So, how do others use continuous integration servers like hudson in their
maven environment?
thanks!
