Categories: Builds

Latest version: 1.3
Added 2005-10-14Updated 2006-02-01

Build automation and management tool.

Continuous Integration or nightly builds can be set using a web interface. Executed builds are managed using functions such as search, categorization, promotion, patching, deletion, etc. Luntbuild also acts as a central build artifacts repository and download area for your whole team.

Luntbuild aims at not only being build automation, but also build management system. Executed builds can be categorized, promoted, searched, patched, deleted, etc. This is very important for a nightly builds or Continuous Integration builds, which generate many builds over time.
Luntbuild utilizes the project/schedule concept to provide build support for parallel development.
No configuration files, all jobs are done using web interface. You can set your Luntbuild system quickly.

Hudson

 Home Page Home Page

Categories: Builds

Latest version: 1.323
Added 2008-05-02Updated 2009-09-14

Extensible continuous integration engine.
Hudson monitors executions of repeated jobs, such as building a software project or jobs run by cron. Among those things, current Hudson focuses on the following two jobs:
1. Building/testing software projects continuously, just like CruiseControl or DamageControl. In a nutshell, Hudson provides a so-called continuous integration system, making it easier for developers to integrate changes to the project, and making it easier for users to obtain a fresh build.
2. Monitoring executions of externally-run jobs, such as cron jobs and procmail jobs, even those that are run on a remote machine. For example, with cron, all you receive is regular e-mails that capture the output, and it is up to you to look at them diligently and notice when it broke. Hudson keeps those outputs and makes it easy for you to notice when something is wrong.

Features include:
- Just java -jar hudson.war, or deploy it in a servlet container. No additional install, no database.
- Can be configured entirely from its web GUI with on-the-fly error checks and inline help. There's no need to tweak XML manually anymore, although if you'd like to do so, you can do that, too.
- Change set support: Hudson can generate a list of changes made into the build from CVS/Subversion
- Permanent links: Hudson gives you readable URLs for most of its pages, including some permalinks link "latest build"/"latest successful build"
- RSS/E-mail/IM integration
- After-the-fact tagging: Builds can be tagged long after builds are completed
- JUnit/TestNG test reporting
- Can distribute build/test loads to multiple computers
- File fingerprinting
- Plugin support

Clirr

 Home Page Home Page

Categories: Builds

Latest version: 0.6
Added 2006-02-14

Tool that checks Java libraries for binary and source compatibility with older releases.
Basically you give Clirr two sets of jar files and it dumps out a list of changes in the public API.
The Clirr Ant task can break the build if it detects incompatible API changes, making it easy to prevent accidental introduction of compatibiliy issues.

Features include:
- reports API changes
- evaluates each change with regard to binary and source compatibility
- supports plain text and XML reports
- flexible failure handling (warnings vs. errors, break the build or set error property)

Author: The Apache Software Foundation

Latest version: 2.2.1
Added 2005-01-10Updated 2009-09-14

Java project management and project comprehension tool.
Maven is based on the concept of a Project Object Model (POM) in that all the artifacts produced by Maven are a result of consulting a well-defined model for your project.
Features include:
- Development and management of your project are controlled from the project model (builds, documentation, source metrics, source cross-references and several reports).
- A single set of methods are used to build any number of projects that you are managing.
- Integration with Gump, a tool used at Jakarta to help projects maintain backward compatibility with their clients.
- Site publication based on the POM. Once the POM is accurate your developers can publish the project's content. Maven provides the following: Change log document created directly from repository information; Cross referenced sources; Source metrics; Mailing lists; Developer list; Dependency list; Unit test reports including coverage; Article Collection; Software Development References; Software Development Process Documentation; and more reports using the different plugins.
