[p4] Build tools

[Jeff Jensen]

I like using CruiseControl.  It's free open source and has a lot of good
features.  Integration with lots of stuff.

Comments on CC per your numbered requirements:
1) That's up to your Ant/Maven build configuration that it calls.  For
example, we use Maven and have Maven install the build artifacts in the
local Maven repository for use by other components/projects.

2) It has one console (web app) for all configured projects.  I have not
used its distributed builds capability.

3)  It is a Java program that runs the build scheduler, and a Java web app
for the monitoring and actions.  It also has a JMX interface and a simple
web interface for manipulating it.  There are also monitoring plugins for
FireFox, an X10 interface, email sending, and other notification (status
publisher) methods.
It also has a Swing thick client for monitoring and configuration.

4) Not sure what to say - we've not had reliability problems.

Hello,

We have been using AnthillPro for our build tool, and have decided that the
time has come to look at other options.  I was curious what other Perforce
users would recommend.  Our nightly builds run for 3-4 hours on
3 different machines.  Other requirements:

 

1)       Reuse of build components

2)       One console for build management, across multiple machines.

3)       Must be able to kick off builds on windows, Unix and Linux
machines.

4)       Reliability - this is our big issue right now

 

 

Cheers,
