RE: [juddi-Developers] Gump build for jUDDI

hi all,

finally got around to reading about gump. my understanding, correct me if
i'm wrong, is gump is about dependency checking, and more generally about
building a community of software that functions together. this sounds like a
good thing to me. is that the goal here? are there concrete returns this
will yield for the project? does gump require centipede?

cheers,
andy

  Hi everyone,

  I created a new project called "anou" ( so people don't get confused with
juddi ) and put the files in the structure we agreed with. Gump with
Centipede builds it like a charm ( thanks Adam, for the help ).

  I cut a lot of output that came.... but basically as you can see, the
Build was Successful.  Adam can get one of the Gump contributors to add
jUDDI in it and we should be able to build it nightly via Gump ( when we are
ready with jUDDI moved to the new structure permanently ).


  regards,
  -Anou

Seems an accurate enough summary.

  are there concrete returns this will yield for the project?

Think of it as an early warning system for inconsistency detection. If your
dependencies change and that change causes a compile failure, or a unit test
failure, then gump ought give you a heads up. You can then decide whether
when to keep current on later releases and also have a clue as to what the
issues might be with a move.

I think the primary benefit is that it allows projects to "keep current" w/
the latest of other users w/ less manual effort. That stops projects from
"going stale" on old libraries.

  does gump require centipede?

No.

Also, you can have a separate ant script or ant target for gump, one that
does (say) compile/source code check ;-)/test and no others just for that.
