1 [[Jenkins>>http://jenkins-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 (the predecessor to Jenkins) 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]].

3 === Upgrading from Hudson ===
4
5 Switching from Hudson to Jenkins is straight-forward since Hudson was the foundation that Jenkins was forked from. jenkins-ci.org has a [[wiki entry>>https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Upgrading+from+Hudson+to+Jenkins]] to help with the change.

7 === Stand-Alone Mac OS X Setup ===
8
9 1. Download the Jenkins Binary Installer from the [[Jenkins Website>>http://jenkins-ci.org/]].
10 The direct link to get he latest installer is: [[http://mirrors.jenkins-ci.org/osx/latest]]. This will download a standard OS X Installer Package named ##jenkins-n.nnn.pkg##.
11 1. Run the installer
12 [[image:JenkinsInstaller.png]]
13 1. Restart your computer
14 This is required because the current version of Jenkins does not create the its directory until it launches after you restart you computer.
15 1. Point your browser to: [[http://localhost:8080/]]
16 1. Start setting up jobs (Instructions from WOWODC2011 Coming Soon)
17
18 === Using SSL ===
19
20 Setting up SSL for Jenkins is surprisingly easy. The following is originally from the [[SSL Setup Options>>http://jenkins.361315.n4.nabble.com/SSL-Setup-Options-td954261.html]] page on nabble.com:
21
22 1. Create a selfsigned test SSL certificate. 
23 keytool genkey keyalg RSA alias selfsigned keystore keystore.jks -storepass ToPSecRet321 dname "cn=localhost"
24 1. Launch Hudson. 
25
26 {{noformat}}
27 java -jar hudson.war --httpPort=-1 --httpsPort=8080 --httpsKeyStore=keystore.jks --httpsKeyStorePassword=ToPSecRet321
28 {{/noformat}}
29
30 1. Launch browser 
31 Open "https:~/~/localhost:8080" in browser. You might get a browser warning, because the certificate is not signed by a known certificate authority. Communication is SSL-encrypted nevertheless.
32
33 {{note title="Please Note"}}
34 The port has changed from the original instructions. That was required on Mac OS X because of permissions. Also, it's worth noting that the keytool asks for a second password for the private key of the ssl certificate. We are using the same password as the keystore password and everything works. It is unclear if that makes a difference.

37 === Servlet Container Installation on Mac OS X (10.5, 10.6) ===
38
39 1. Install Tomcat from [[http://www.macports.org]] with the command

41 {{noformat}}
42
43 sudo /opt/local/bin/port install tomcat6
44
45 {{/noformat}}
46
47 1. Create an administrative user in ##/opt/local/share/java/tomcat6/conf/tomcat-users.xml##.
48
49 {{code value="xml"}}
50
51 <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

61
62 Don't forget to change the username and password after you have finished checking out the build server and start using it in production.

65
66 1. Start Tomcat.
67
68 {{noformat}}
69
70 sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.tomcat6.plist
71
72 {{/noformat}}
73
74 1. [[Download Hudson>>http://hudson-ci.org/latest/hudson.war]], saving ##hudson.war## somewhere for later.
75 1. Create a folder for Hudson to work in: ##/opt/local/var/db/hudson##
76 1. Change ownership of that folder: ##chown www:_www /opt/local/var/db/hudson##
77 1. Add the following to ##/opt/local/share/java/tomcat6/conf/setenv.local##:
78
79 {{noformat}}
80
81 export HUDSON_HOME=/opt/local/var/db/hudson
82 export JAVA_OPTS=-Djava.awt.headless=true
83
84 {{/noformat}}
85
86 1. Install Hudson in Tomcat: go to [[http://localhost:8080]], login with the user and password that you have created in ##tomcat-users.xml##, and upload ##hudson.war## to the Tomcat server.
87 1. Goto [[http://localhost:8080/hudson]] and you can start configuring your Hudson build server.

111 1. The way to start it depends on the version. The current way is to go to the Web Settings in Server Admin, Settings, General, check the Tomcat checkbox. Restart the WebServer.&nbsp;
