CruiseControl now has a Maven builder. http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/main/configxml.html#maven > > I see that Maven has a plugin for CruiseControl and vice > versa, what are the potential advantages of integrating these > two tools? The advantage is that you only have to specify something's in one place. You really wouldn't want to do your test builds with ANT and your deployment builds with Maven (it would be too easy to get them out of sync). > Please tolerate my newbie questions ;) The only people who aren't Maven newbies work on the project. :-) > What our J2EE project > needs is a continous build system tests which creates some > kind of notification if the build fails. We don't have a J2EE project yet, but what we have is a set of nine (and growing) pojo projects that CruiseControl does continuous builds on using Maven as the build system. Anytime a build fails I and whoever checked in code since the last build get notified. The notification includes the entire Maven log (so it's pretty easy to tell what failed). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
