Hudson

Continuous Integration needed
The advantages of a CI server are well documented elsewhere, and life is easier with them, so I decided to use Hudson. Again, I haven't used this one before, so was keen to see what it was like.

Hudson
The Hudson documentation seems good at first pass, so installation onto the Tomcat service on the server box should be straightforward.
First problem was the installation of the UnxUtils utilities required : no reference was made on how to install these. A quick Google search found these instructions. Problem solved.

The best reference I found to set up Hudson on Windows was this one.




As at the end of tonight, there are still problems getting a build to work. I've made two mistakes :
1. Set the maven home to be the <maven>/bin directory, instead of <maven>
2. Now getting permgen errors running the build - sigh.
