Ironicly enough, just started going down this feasibilty path. I'm trying to use CruiseControl to do the autobuilds, while using the maven-cruisecontrol plugin to generate the config file for CruiseControl. Then, use CruiseControl to run (not the maven plugin to run cruisecontrol - didn't seem right, but if there is a good reason too I'm listening).
Unfortunately, either in ignorance or by practice, I've had to modify the created config file just to get it to work, and even then a lot of things are still broken in my environment(distribution jars, creating the j-unit logs for future reporting, etc). Part of the problem is partly in that I'm trying to do this with an EXISTING multi-module maven project (J2EE app to be specific). Quick-start, assuming your project.xml is complete, *download cruisecontrol (example: to /cc or c:/cc) *install cruise control (google for 'cruisecontrol getting started' for help) *add something like this to your project.properties file: #------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Maven Cruise Control #------------------------------------------------------------------------- maven.cruisecontrol.home = /cc/cruisecontrol-2.2 maven.cruisecontrol.mail.subjectprefix = [Build] maven.cruisecontrol.checkout.dir = /cc/work/checkout maven.cruisecontrol.mail.host = smtp.domain.blah maven.cruisecontrol.config = /cc/work/cruisecontrol.xml Then run the maven goal from your project: cruisecontrol:configure This creates the cruisecontrol.xml file. Then, from your cruisecontrol location, checkout the 'initial' cvs checkout (I think that is lame, but hey). Then, run cruisecontrol and pray. Hopefully someone has some better, more easily digested and quicker instructions (particularly for multi-project setup!). -D > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, December 03, 2004 8:56 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Anyone really doing continuous integration with Maven? > > > Bryan, > > >So, my question is: Is anyone doing continuous integration builds > >using Maven and how? > > yes we have a project doing continuous integration using > CruiseControl which invokes maven build and then the maven > site generation. > is that what you are looking for?. > > Regards, > Manoj > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Thompson, Bryan B.
