Hi Folks, Right now in Jenkins (builds.apache.org) we don't seem to have a Tika project directory which contains the trunk build... it is just a free standing project burried under the mountain of jobs currently running on that box. We also don't build Tika nightly... in fact AFAICT it has been built twice in the last 30 or so days... We use latest JDK6... which IMHO is not sufficient as Annie (one of many I am sure) has recently encountered problems building and testing Tika against Oracle JDK8. We don't seem to run tests within the current Trunk Jenkins configuration!!! We instead look for tasks... if they do not exist we do not run any tests... IMHO this is a waste of Jenkins resources as the job is provisioned and very rarely actually used. We can therefore not view test output if anything goes wrong! Which is not beneficial to anyone wanting to know current health of trunk. Does anyone have an issue with me jumping on to the Jenkins job and bringing it bang up to date with JDK7 (at least), provisioning a new job for JDK8 until we get this stable and also publishing test output for reference and review... finally running nightly builds which push nightly SNAPSHOT's for consumption by developers?
