Jenkins CI is setup and mostly working

[Kevin Minder <ke...@hortonworks.com>]

Hi Everyone,

I've setup three Jenkins jobs
1) https://builds.apache.org/job/Knox-master/
2) https://builds.apache.org/job/Knox-master-site/
3) https://builds.apache.org/job/Knox-master-release/

Job #1 is setup to poll Git every 15 minutes and will 'mvn clean 
install' automatically.
This is our CI.  Now I need to figure out how to send build results via 
email.  Stay tuned.

Job #2 runs 'mvn site' and I hope to be able to use various reports from 
that like code coverage, find bugs, RAT, etc.
This requires a manual start for now since it is rather expensive. Once 
it shows some value perhaps I'll schedule it daily.

Job #3 runs 'ant release' and I hope to have as much as possible 
automatically generate release builds.  This is also a manual job and 
will likely stay that way.
Right now this job is failing because the build env doesn't use Maven 3 
and we use a plugin that requires it.  I've filed a bug but
upgrading Maven in the build env isn't something that infra is going to 
take lightly.  I'm going to seek alternatives.  Expect a [DISCUSS] thread.
     INFRA-6035: Upgrade build infra to Maven 3
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-6035
Unfortunately this means we still don't have a way to generate a binary 
distribution for people to play with/test without building it themselves.

FYI there is also another issue that the Maven Git plugin is not 
installed/configured on at least the solaris1 build machine. Therefore I
had to tie our builds to Ubuntu.  We might want to add Windows and osx, 
but for now I know Ubuntu is working.

+1 I think we're good here.

Do we want to have this as http://knox.incubator.apache.org/  or is that
published separately?

You should contact builds@apache.org for this (may need to subscribe
first).
Then please request that they install on some build slave Maven3. Then you
can select that build slave in the Jenkins job by labeling it.

Nice! I think they'll refer both of the above issues to builds@apache.org,
so probably worth just sending the emails there now to the peeps that are
maintaining jenkins-ci for the ASF.

Great work.

Cheers,
