I believe that there's a checkbox in the project's config you have to check for this (auto-rebuilding if a dependency changes) to happen. You'll also want to turn on the option that blocks building the user of the dependencies while the dependencies are being built. Honestly. I'm the only person working on the projects I was talking about, but I love using Jenkins. It means that after I commit, I find out within 10 minutes if the commit I made actually works. Often I find I forgot a file, or else I find a test only worked on the computer I wrote it on due to assumptions. I figure it'll take between 1-2 hours to setup if you have no experience, and if so, it'll probably be time well spent. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
