Skip to main content  Setting up NetBeans-based projects with a
Continuous Integration server  Posted by fabriziogiudici on

servers are facilities able to monitor changes in a source
repository (e.g. CVS or Subversion) and schedule a new build
automatically, in order to verify if the new committed code
broke the stability of the system. They are installed on remote
servers and usually don't run on programmers' computers - so
apparently a problem arises if we're thinking of projects
developed with the NetBeans IDE.  As most CI products can be
easily configured by just pointing them to a build.xml ant
script, the problem just translates to being able to setup a
working "headless" environment for a NetBeans-based project -
with "headless" I mean that the environment must be configurable
by only using a text-based remote connection (e.g. ssh), and not
a graphical console (e.g. X11).I've been recently able to setup
some projects of mine by using Hudson,
