Few weeks ago i blogged about CI-servers in general as well as
Hudson in particular. You might have read, that I was – well, kind of blown away – by that thing. So i quickly used Hudson in my OSS, as well as in the professional setting. For the latter, it was a necessity to make Hudson notify via XMPP as we use Jabber as the primary communication tool inhouse. I checked the stuff out and hacked a plugin to do that.
Due to the original Hudson author’s tutorials and very well prepared Maven2-archetypes, it was much easier than i thought it to be.
“So what is the point here?” you might ask. It is not that incredibly great to contribute a little plugin, right? Right.
What
is
really stunning tough, is that two days later a guy from Belgium shows up, that picked the plugin and added a really impressive feature-set (much more than i have planned), while the original code is still warm in CVS.
That’s what OpenSource is about, and i
LOVE
to see it work like that.
