Cruise != CruiseControl

July 24, 2009

Newsflash: there are three versions of CruiseControl.

The Java One – which is called CruiseControl, or sometimes CruiseControl.java
The .NET One – which is called CruiseControl.NET, or just CruiseControl
The Ruby one – CruiseControl.rb, or sometimes just CC.rb.

If someone initiates a discussion about CruiseControl, it’s always smart to clarify exactly which version they mean.
To make things worse, all [...]

Consolidation of the enterprise market to 3 main products
Consolidation of the workgroup market to CruiseControl Hudson (as free Continuous Integration servers), and Bamboo (as a paid product)

Maybe. I’m [...]

Twitter support for CruiseControl

January 19, 2009

Publishing build status via Twitter is a nice feature to have: there’s no change to the user behaviour required. People subscribe to the Twitter account for your project. CruiseControl committers PJ and JTF have been working on it. It’s in the trunk of the CruiseControl SVN repository. I have some Debian [...]

Sudhindra Rao from ThoughtWorks has released a Build Radiator (Big Visible thing) for all the CruiseControls that support CCTray.

CI Cage Fight – CruiseControl

November 17, 2008

The second presentation at the CI Cage Fight was Paul Julius, talking about CruiseControl. I think of CruiseControl as the daddy (or at least an uncle) of Continuous Integration servers. It’s the oldest Java CI server that I know of. As an open source project I think it opened the way for [...]

Jim Huang commented on the CruiseControl series page about an issue on his project:

August 24, 2008

Chad Wooley just announced “CI in a box” – a wrapper script that gets CruiseControl.rb bootstrapped and running. Cinabox joins a stable of ready-to-run CI systems:
Buildix which comes with the original CruiseControlCI Factory which sets up CruiseControl.NET

CruiseControl Best Practices: Keep your dependencies to yourself

July 27, 2008

This is the second of ten practices for CruiseControl

The average Java project has many dependencies – open source tools and frameworks, third party libraries, libraries that come from your project or organization – the list is endless. When I wrote this article, my current project had 84 jar files that it depended on (or could [...]
