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
11 1. Create a /Developer/Hudson/Home directory
12 1. Download Hudson From [[http://hudson.dev.java.net]]. Save the hudson.war file to /Developer/Hudson
13 1. Launch Hudson with the following command in Terminal.app:
14
15 {{code}}
16
17 java -DHUDSON_HOME=/Developer/Hudson/Home -jar /Developer/Hudson/hudson.war
18
19 {{/code}}
20

23 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.
24 {code}
25 java -DHUDSON_HOME=/Developer/Hudson/Home -jar /Developer/Hudson/hudson.war -httpPort=9080 --ajp13Port=9009
26 {code}

37 {{noformat}}
38
39 sudo /opt/local/bin/port install tomcat6
40
41 {{/noformat}}
42
43 1. Create an administrative user in /opt/local/share/java/tomcat6/conf/tomcat-users.xml (20 mins to find out where the user should be and how not to restart tomcat). Something along the line of:
44
45 {{code value="xml"}}
46
47 <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
48 <tomcat-users>
49 <role rolename="manager"/>

78 export JAVA_OPTS=-Djava.awt.headless=true
79
80 {{/noformat}}
