I am in the process of converting a large project from
Subversion/Ant/CruiseControl to Subversion/Maven/Continuum(1.1-beta-2).
One of the things done on the CruiseControl machine is to restore a
database to a known state before the build starts (so the integration
tests run during the build start with a known state, and it is only done
once per build for performance reasons).
Another thing done currently, is that if the build is successful, then a
Subversion copy of the source tree is saved as the last known successful
build (from which tags and branches are created when needed).
Under Continuum, is there a prescribed way to perform such one time,
pre- and post-build work? I have currently placed the pre-build work in
the 'root' pom.xml file (is there a better way?), but haven't figured
how to gain control after a build completes and test if was successful
and perform the svn copy.
Ideas?
John
