Jenkins is a new fork created by the Hudson authors. After Oracle bought Java, the Hudson community could not get along with Oracle, so they forked off a branch of Hudson and created "Jenkins".
We use Jenkins to do the following:
- Automated builds triggered by code check-ins
- Runs JUnit tests upon build (as directed by Maven pom.xml files)
- Runs Code Coverage tools (if any are configured)
- Runs JavaDoc (if configured)
- Creates an Archive of successful builds
Jenkins Configuration
We configure Jenkins to retain artifacts for only 60 days to conserve upon disk space.
Jenkins expands the war file and copies all contents to ~builderbob/.jenkins
Jenkins "Jobs" (i.e. projects) are located in ~builderbob/.jenkins/jobs Under this directory, there is a sub-directory for each Job.
Starting Jenkins
Jenkins run as a Winstone server. Start up is
1. cd /Users/builderbob/dev/jenkins
2. open a terminal while in buildbob account.
3. java -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=7070
3. Hide window off to side
