= Analysis =


== Overview ==
The goal of this task (and its related) is to create a one-step process for turning source code into a working system. This involves setting up a build server.

== Task requirements ==
We must provide a running and available instance of a build server.
 * Search for a build server which suits our needs. 
 * Locate the place where the server will be (maybe the same as the new Trac system?).
 * Make basic setup and run the server.
 * Integration with the project and further setup are not part of this task.

== Task result ==
A build server running.

== Implementation idea ==
When searching for a suitable server, keep in mind that it must provide all the functionality, that the tasks in "Related" section require. [[BR]]
Look at [https://hudson.dev.java.net/ Hudson] and [http://continuum.apache.org Continuum].

== How to demo ==
Show the instance running.

= Design =
 * Research is made about hudson and continuum pros and cons. The main differences are:
  * Continuum allows multiple jobs over a single project but has problem where if maven "modules" are sibling 
projects (i.e. referenced via ../some-project/pom.xml). It is harder to set up.
  * hudson is better due to its simplicity. For example to configure a schedule, we should simply add “@daily” on schedule option and all is set. It has also more detailed email notifications.

 * For now we will setup Hudson for our build continuous integration server. Visit https://hudson.dev.java.net/.
 * There are a lot of reports that can be generated: http://hudson.gotdns.com/wiki/display/HUDSON/Plugins#Plugins-Buildreports
 * The server will be set in the scs folder in the new server. See [wiki:SCS_MACHINE_SETUP_R1]. 
 * Follow the installation instructions: http://hudson.gotdns.com/wiki/display/HUDSON/Installation+and+Execution.
