help with cruise control

[kaladharan dharan <k_...@yahoo.com>]

Hi all, I would like to know what is cruise control
about ? What does it offer ? Why would you have it ?
Is it ant based ? Can someone share the snippets of
it, with me ? thanks.

You should find most of your answers here: 
<http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/>

Because building your project from the repository is important, and 
getting rapid feedback really helps by letting developers know right 
away they "broke the build" by forgetting to check in a file, or making 
an incompatible change that may work on their machine but not when all 
the code is "integrated".

It runs Ant build files, yes.  But is flexible enough to run other 
things if you choose.

Let me also refer you to a CruiseControl competitor that is quite nice, 
Anthill: <http://www.urbancode.com/projects/anthill/default.jsp>
I've found Anthill to be much easier to install and configure.
