Maven Plugins v0.2.1 – re-written and open-sourced!
A “0.1″ release of these Maven plugins back in November brought a lot of attention to the project, which showed me that other Maven developers find them as useful as I do. Later, people started to send me new suggestions and open YouTrack issues which I had an extreme pleasure to work on. Version “0.2.1″ [...]
Jenkins/Hudson Maven Repositories
Some locations to keep in mind when you work with Hudson: maven.hudson-labs.org:8081/content/repositories – Maven repository org.jvnet.hudson.main:hudson-war org.jvnet.hudson.plugins updates.hudson-labs.org/download/war – War download updates.hudson-labs.org/download/plugins – Plugins download Update After recent Jenkins fork the situation has now changed (many thanks to @abayer and @hudsonci for the info!)

Hudson and Artifactory Maven repository
For a long time I was sure there’s no Hudson Maven repository.

In our case, we create a Tomcat setup with Hudson, Artifactory and Maven already installed and configured, I’ll [...]

Hmm, that’s interesting … After re-installing Hudson from scratch, installing it locally on my machine, going back and forward with versions, creating simple jobs doing absolutely [...]

When I came to Thomson Reuters and started working on new CM infrastructures – I decided to switch to Artifactory, though. Mostly due to [...]
