continum newbie questions

[srinivas ramgopal <sk...@yahoo.com>]

Hi all,

Since I am new to continum, I have few basic questions about the basic
mechanism of continum and its relationship to Maven/remote repository:

As far as I understand, the purpose of continum is to run the integration
tests (somehow) whenever a file is modified/added in the associated source
control tool (ex. PVCS, CVS).

Then why does Continum need Maven? 
Also does Continum depend on a company's remote repository?  If so, why?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Continuum needs Maven to build projects that use Maven POM (Project 
Object Model). It would need Ant to build Ant based projects, Maven 1 to 
build projects that use Maven 1 POM so on and so forth...

Dependency on a company's remote repo would depend on the dependencies 
that your project(s) use. If they are internal and published to and 
available off a company repo, then there is a dependency on internal 
repo.

If you have not already, I think it would help to read Maven docs here:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/index.html
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-configuring-maven.html

Cheers,
Rahul

continuum doesn't require maven. maven is required only if you use maven projects in continuum.

continuum use a remote repo (defined in your poms or settings.xml) only for maven projects.
