Most suitable contious integration system for doing automatic build and deployments to jboss EAP 5.0

Question

We use Apache Continuum for our continous builds now and it FTP's the build and uses maven deploy/undeploy to do our builds. This has been flaky and stopped working once we upgraded to Jboss EAP 5.0 from Jboss 4.3. We are investigating the issue and planning to upgrade our installation of continuum.

In the meantime I was wondering, may be other products do it better. I'm willing to try another product if it makes our job easier in the long run. We use maven 2 and continuum has been working smoothly in terms of SCM integration and building. Configuration is pretty painless too. Our only issue is the automatic deployments.

How do other CI products like (Hudson, Cruise Control) rate in integration with Jboss? Have any of you used any other CI products with automatic deployemnts to Jboss servers (located on different machines over the network)?

Answer 1

Choosing among Jenkins, Hudson, and CruiseControl - use Jenkins. CruiseControl is on its way out. Here's the rationale to use Jenkins over Hudson.

Jenkins has a JBoss Management Plugin.
