Maven Cargo configuring a Glassfish 2.1 instance to run integration-tests?

I was wondering whether it is possible to use Maven2 to automatically configure a Glassfish 2.1 with JNDI Resources, Datasources and Mail-Sessions for my integration tests.

Also I wonder whether it is possible to create some sort of benchmarks that might then be tracked using continuum or Hudson.

Integrate Continuum, Maven and Git (github)

I've been trying to solve this problem for a while now and still can't make this integration happen. I'm probabilly missing something really simple here and got confused along the way!

What I'm trying to do is:

1 - Host the project on github.

2 - Have Continuum watch this repo and clone it every one in a while.

3 - Have Continuum call Maven to build the cloned repo to check for bugs.

How can I make this happen?

If the flow I'm trying to achieve is wrong, please tell me what would be the best way to get these 3 tools running together. :)

Deploying to OC4j: Unable to find/read file META-INF/application.xml

Provider message: No such provider: ''

I was trying to configure my project in a local continuum server connected to a local svn repository hosted via visual svn server. I am getting this message "Provider message: No such provider: ''.". What could be wrong ?

Move Wakari Notebooks to another directory

I cannot find an option to move notebooks from the home directory do other directories in wakari. I have a bunch of notebook as mini-examples i created, and now i want to categorize them into directories i created. Is there a way? I do not want to download them and then reupload them. Is there a terminal solution?

Configure continuum 1.2.3 with maven2 project; "Username isn't defined."

I use continuum 1.2.3 to build maven projects. On a fresh continuum installation, I added a pom by upload. I try to build, and get the following error:

Exception:
Exception while executing SCM command.

My SCM URL looks like this: (replaced domain name)

scm:cvs:pserver:cvs.example.com:/Projects:car/wheel/

Any idea what went wrong?

Thanks

How to find the members of a project in continuum(build coordinator -user role -adminstrator,user) programmatically?

How to find the members of a project in continuum(build coordinator -user role -adminstrator,user) programmatically? is there any specific API, which I can use? I have checked continuum-xmlrpc-client.1.4.1.jar ,continuum-xmlrpc-api-1.4.1 and continuum-xmlrpc-server.1.4.1

How to build the project in continuum programatically using continuum-xmlrpc-client?

I am trying to build project in continuum, programmatically. I am able to add project to continuum by using continuum-xmlrpc-client.jar.

When I tried the same for building the project, I got the below error.

Failed to invoke method buildProject in class org.apache.maven.continuum.xmlrpc.server.ContinuumServiceImpl: No such object.

Continuum: Switching from building the SVN Trunk to a Branch

We are working with Apache Continuum as a continuous integration platform and i want Continuum to start building from an SVN Branch instead of the Trunk. Did i just need to change the url in the tag of the in the Maven pom.xml ?

Best regards.

Continuum as a Jenkins replacement? [closed]

At our company we're taking a critical look at the products in our Java Development/QA street. One of the products we're looking at is Apache Continuum.

Could someone with Continuum experience (and preferably also Jenkins experience) explain what the advantages and disadvantages of Apache Continuum are (especially with regards to Jenkins)?

My first impressions are:

Advantages:

• Better suited for grouping builds and projects (from a UI perspective).

Disadvantages:

• No clear dashboard.
• A relatively small community.
• No plugins (right?).

How can I setup Continuum to build on svn commits?

I had never tried Continuum as a build server until recently when a project required it. I appreciate the integration with Maven builds however I have been unable to find a way to have Continuum build my projects on every Subversion commit (like CruiseControl).

There are several issue/bugs reported related to this topic of triggering builds from the configured SCM ... but all seem to be closed citing duplicate issues. Has anyone gotten this to work or have any advice on how to implement it?

Thank you.

Best practice: Versioning and releases in multiprojects

What is the best practice for versioning and release management in the following case with multiprojects?

Project structure

• global parent
  • parent project (Version: 1.0-SNAPSHOT)
    • child project 1 (same like parent)
    • child project 2 (same like parent)
    • child project 3 (same like parent)
    • child project 4 (same like parent)
    • …

I want to set only one time the version for the parent and all child projects, because every part of the project must have the same version.

Also what i want is, to release the project with continuum/maven.

Current "bad" solution:

Normaly a easy way should be to set the version in the parent pom and say in every child „last version from parent“ but this dont work with maven <3.1 (See here)[http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-624] Now i set in every child project the version of the parent project and for every release i must change the version in all childs and the parent.

Example:

Parent

<groupId>com.test</groupId>
<artifactId>com.test.buildDefinition</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

Child

<parent>
    <groupId>com.test</groupId>
    <artifactId>com.test.buildDefinition</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>

<groupId>com.test</groupId>
<artifactId>com.test.project</artifactId>
<version>${parent.version}</version>

If i want to release my projects now with Continuum i use the following order to release it:

1. Parent Project
2. Child Project 1
3. Child Project 2
4. …

But this dont work, because after changeing the version of the parent, the childs dont have anymore a SNAPSHOT version in the parent and i think there must be a better way to release a multiproject with continuum.

How to use Continuum to build from multiple branches

I've got a project which is built using Maven and Continuum. We've got several release branches, most of which are in retirement but any could conceivably be resurrected if an issue comes up.

My problem is that adding branches to Continuum is very heavyweight; the best method I've found so far is to add each branch as a separate project, but that involves a reasonable amount of setup. As we don't make releases all that often, this is fine, but I'd like the ability to run Continuum against short-lived feature branches, and I don't want to have to set everything up by hand each time.

Hudson/Jenkins vs Cruise Control vs Luntbuild vs Continuum

I am searching a suitable Continuous Integration tool.

• We have Java and Java EE projects.
• Some of the projects are Maven projects
• We use Subversion/SVN
• Some of the projects have many modules

I searched a little and found these tools as recommended.

Which continuous integration tool would you recommend?

What are the options for release management using Jenkins

I'm evaluating build engines like Jenkins and Apache Continuum. The bulk of our build is using Maven. What options are there in Jenkins for release management?

By release management I mean the process of creating a release from a branch in source control, then updating the version tag in Maven. For example, if my Maven project (parent + child sub-projects) is currently at version 5.5-SNAPSHOT, I would like to tell Jenkins to check out, build, and test the latest of this branch, and update the POMs to version 5.5. Then, it should create a new branch in source control for version 5.6-SNAPSHOT, and update all the POMs on this new branch accordingly.

Apache Continuum, which I believe was developed by Sonatype, the same team behind Maven, has this release management feature. I've seen a plugin for Jenkins called the Artifactory Plugin, which seems to require that the repository manager is Artifactory. What other release management options are available for Jenkins? What is the best practice?

Thanks,
