Short-term, I was just going to setup builds on a SUSE guest vm I have
(at IBM) to run the default "mvn install" goal and then start expanding
from there (maybe to include other DBs and a Windows/MSSQL vm.)
Longer-term, we can have the OpenJPA PMC ask the Geronimo PMC to create
a Ubuntu guest VM on one of the ASF servers (phoebe/selene.apache.org)
we use for TCK testing. Access to the vm would be limited to those who
have signed the Sun TCK NDA, as you can only access the guest VMs via
ssh from the host system (selene/phoebe.)

Donald,
This sounds quite interesting. Who provides these build systems? Would
this processing just do the compile target, or does it perform the testing
as well? What about the databases? Our junit bucket works with Derby, by
default.
If this type of processing could be done on Apache infrastructure servers, I
think that's great. I was under the impression that this type of processing
was left up to those entities that were interested. For example, Patrick
Linskey (BEA) used to do this type of processing and communicate the results
as needed. We have picked up some of this processing for the releases that
we're interested in (IBM). But, having a generalized solution for any
release would be nice.
Tell me more... :-)
Thanks,
Kevin

Was wondering if there would be any interest in setting up automated builds
of trunk and the active branches, which would send out Build Success notices
to s...@openjpa and Failure notices with context around the build failure
to d...@openjpa?
We've been using such scripts on the Apache Geronimo project and it has
been very useful to quickly see when a committed change is causing a build
break or unit test failures.
I have a copy of our script from Geronimo updated to build OpenJPA and am
testing it against trunk right now. Unless someone objects or if there is
already another build system in place, I'll create a patch that can be
applied to sandboxes and will setup a machine I have to start building
trunk, branches/1.2.x and branches/1.3.x.
