[kepler-dev] anthill nightly build system

[Chad Berkley]

Hello,

I have setup the Anthill nightly build system for kepler and the kepler 
unit tests.  I've linked to it on the kepler website under the 
"development" section (http://kepler.ecoinformatics.org/development.html).

The build is divided into two parts.  The first one just builds the HEAD 
of CVS every night.  The second one builds and runs any junit test in 
the kepler/tests directory.  Right now there are only a few unit tests 
so the unit testing is not very robust.  We definitely need to add more 
tests.

You may have seen checkins at midnight for the version file under my 
username.  This is the anthill system versioning each build as it goes. 
  You can view the build log for any build from any night.  If the build 
fails for any reason, an email is sent out and the status bar in the 
table turns red.  I think we will eventually create a list so people who 
want to see if the build fails can get the email.  Right now the email 
is only going to a few people.

Let me know if you have any problems or questions.
