Raible's Wiki: AppFuseCruiseControl

It's pretty easy to setup your AppFuse application to work with CruiseControl

. You can either download the files from this page or if you're using 1.6.1+ - they're located in the extras/cruisecontrol directory. Thanks to Mike Clark

and Jared Richardson

for their help getting this work.

1. Download

and install CruiseControl 2.4.1. Extract it to your $TOOLS_HOME directory, wherever that may be.

2. After you've installed CruiseControl, download the following files and put them in the cruisecontrol-2.4.1 ($CC_HOME) directory.

The latest version of these files can be found in CVS

or in your project's extras/cruisecontrol directory.

5. Run "ant" in the current directory or checkout your project into the "projects".

I was puzzled why my HTML E-Mails didn't contain all the pretty formatting like Spring's does. Then I looked at their latest archived one

and noticed it looks the same on Gmane as it does in GMail. I'd recommend sending your build notifications to an e-mail account that can be read with a good HTML e-mail reader.

If you want to use CruiseControl to build your Equinox

project, that's in Equinox's CVS

That's it - you should be able to run /etc/init.d/cruisecontrol as root and CC will check for new updates every hour.
