Newbie to Continuum - help needed with first build error

Hi Guys,
First of all let me tell you that I am new to this whole world of
"Continous Integration Server".I thought of trying it out, and as
Apache is the best, I preferred to go with "Continuum" over others.So,
please forgive my ignorance.

I have added a ant based project using the web interface but when I
try to build the project is throws this build error:

"Provider message: No such provider: ''

I did the following so far:
1. Created a new Project Group
2. Added a new Ant project
3. Provided my ViewVC url "http://localhost/subversion/trunk/?root=projectName
4. Tried to build it and failed

I think I am missing something and tried to go through the documents,
but could not get much information. I would like to know  the
following:

1. Do  I have to change my project's build.xml to make it work with continuum?
2. What is this pom.xml ?? Do I have to create that file and add in to
my project?

I would appreciate if someone can help me here.

Thanks
Mick

Don't change the continuum settings as this.
use real working directory
/tmp/WorkingDirectory

/tmp/BuildOutputDirectory
On this two directories you will have projects in folders with their id.

Concerning deployment it's not supported with ant because continuum don't
know what deploy (an ant script can produce some artifacts).
This works with maven2 because continuum can extract some informations from
the pom to know what he have to deploy.

Hi Oliver,
Thanks for that great help. I changed the ViewVC url to a Maven SCM
url and my first build using Continuum was generated successfully.

But I have one question here.To make the build,I had to also change
the Global settings of Continuum to point to my checked out working
folder i.e:

Working Folder:
C:\Working Folder\Project1

Build Folder:
C:\Working Folder\Project1\trunk\build

Deployment Folder:
C:\Working Folder\Project1\dist

And it works for one project,but how would I be able to generate
builds for other Projects i.e Project 2  ???

And other thing is, I have specified a deployment folder where I would
like the build output to go,but after the build i see Continuum
created a new folder named "5" and places the output there ??

Your pointers would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Don't use the ViewVC.
You have to use directly the svn url.
