integrating with continuum
Hi there, I am new to Continuum and was wondering if it is possible to extend Continuum by adding new "project types". I'd like to add my own "Add XXX Project" link on the Continuum page next to the other links for Maven, Maven2, Ant, and Shell projects. Or alternatively if I could use an API to add my projects programatically to the database. Is this already possible? TIA, Knut Wannheden

I assume that the idea would be to use the XML-RPC API to propagate any changes I make to the project definitions in the development environment to Continuum. The best way I can think of to get that right every time would be to add a commit trigger to the version management system which would remind the user to update the Continuum definitions every time a project definition file is committed. Although even with that solution the definitions will at best just be out of sync for a short period of time, which with bad luck would cause the build to fail for that reason. How does this work with Maven projects? Will Continuum automatically update its project definitions when it detects a change to the POM? If that is the case I'd much prefer to be able to add custom project types to Continuum which would let me achieve the same effect. Does this sound reasonable or is this out of scope for the Continuum project? Regards, --knut

But let me explain what I'd like to do. We have 100+ projects in our development environment and occasionally we add new projects and change the dependencies between existing projects. We also change the developer list for the projects. Obviously I'd like the definitions in Continuum to stay in sync without having to enter and verify that manually. > > > > Can you see a viable solution to this?

I see this is also scheduled for 1.1. Is there an estimated relases date for 1.1? Regards, --knut
