Re: Continuous Integration Tool with Buildr support?

[Antoine Toulme <an...@lunar-ocean.com>]

I had a thought for this thread yesterday night. Back in January, it
concluded that there was no need to have Buildr integrated with Hudson,
since most people are good with shelling out to it.

However, I recently worked with Hudson slaves, and there I must say
integration is a game changer.

Take Maven for example, you just need to give Hudson the version needed, and
the slave will auto-install the right version of Maven, without any need for
a shell access.

This becomes a very solid argument when you have three or more slaves.

Hudson is showing that a distributed architecture is the best fit, in
particular when you have CI builds that compete for resources (ports,
memory, database access, you name it).

I believe in that context that Buildr would be much more competitive if
wrapped as a Hudson plugin.

I also believe it's time we create a jar for it to distribute it :)

This is a good argument for a plugin.  Another thing that would need to be fixed for seamless automatic installs on slaves would be the required gem installer.
