1 [[Hudson>>http://hudson-ci.org/]] is an "extensible continuous integration server". It monitors repeated executions of jobs, such as building software projects, and can be used to build WebObjects applications and frameworks. Hudson is an open source project, and can be used at no cost. An introductory presentation on building WebObjects projects with Hudson was given by Mike Schrag at WOWODC-West in 2009, and the video can be [[purchased from wocommunity.org>>http://www.wocommunity.org/apps/WebObjects/WOCommunity.woa/wa/recordings]].

10 These instructions are based on David Avendasora's setup. You may have different preferences as to where to install Hudson at or where to set its home directory to.
11 {{/info}}
12
13 1. Create a ##/Developer/Hudson/Home## directory.
14 1. [[Download Hudson>>http://hudson-ci.org/latest/hudson.war]], saving ##hudson.war## file to ##/Developer/Hudson##.
15 1. Launch Hudson with the following command in Terminal.app:

17 {{code}}
18
19 java -DHUDSON_HOME=/Developer/Hudson/Home -jar /Developer/Hudson/hudson.war
20
21 {{/code}}
22

25 If you have an instance of Tomcat or AJP running in a different process you can also use the {{\-}}{{{}{-}httpPort{-}}} and {{\-ajp13Port}} options to change the ports used.
26 {code}
27 java -DHUDSON_HOME=/Developer/Hudson/Home -jar /Developer/Hudson/hudson.war -httpPort=9080 --ajp13Port=9009
