If you want to add a project that extends an other, you must add the parent project. When you add a project with sub-projects, Continuum will add all sub-projects, so you need to provide a URL instead of uploading a POM so that Continuum can find all sub-projects.

If your project has modules, you need to provide a URL instead of uploading a POM. When you add a project with modules, Continuum will add all sub-projects, and this only works by submitting a URL.

Continuum uses the command line return code for detecting a successful or failed execution.

If you use maven or ant, you need to add the following line at the end of maven.bat and ant.bat :

If your bat file contains an exit /B at the end, this line must be inserted before it.

This part is for Continuum < 1.0.2 You must also add the following lines at the begin of $CONTINUUM/bin/win32/run.bat, if you run Continuum from the command line :

or this line in wrapper.conf, if you run Continuum as a service (works with command line too) :

You can download fixed scripts for ant and maven here.

File protocol is disabled by default for security reasons. In Continuum 1.1, you can allow it in $CONTINUUM_HOME/apps/continuum/webapp/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/plexus/application.xml

Uncomment the following line :

You're probably running the CVSNT client, or another application based on it, like TortoiseCVS. CVSNT stores passwords in the registry, rather than the ~/.cvspass file. You'll need to issue the following command manually (but only once), with the appropriate information filled in:

Also, note that the login will only be saved for the particular user who typed it. If you're running Continuum as a service, double-check the user it is running as, and make sure that you run cvs login as that user.

Jabber Host : talk.google.com
Jabber Port : 5222
Jabber Login : your google talk login without '@gmail.com'
Jabber Domain Name : gmail.com
Is it a SSL Connection? false

If you keep getting this build error on your projects:

Modify the SCM URL of your Continuum Project from something like this:

to something like this:

Please note the : before @servername. Save changes and try to build again, this time checkout should succeed.

You can learn more about SCM URLs here.

Continuum uses two ports. Port 8000 is used for XML-RPC calls and port 8080 is used by the instance of Jetty that supplies the web interface for Continuum.

If you have another application already running on port 8000/8080, you will get an exception when you start Continuum. If you want to change the port that Continuum uses you should edit the file apps/continuum/conf/application.xml. Find the following section in that file:

Change the appropriate <port> elements to the port numbers you want for jetty and xml-rpc. You need to restart Continuum for the changes to take effect.

If you want to build recursively from the parent, you have to remove the --non-recursive or -N argument under the "Build Definitions" section of your parent project. Or use the checkbox "For multi modules project, load only root as recursive build" when adding a m2 project.

Ensure that your entire project can be checked out using the SCM URL in your parent project.

For CVS users who have each child project in a separate module, you have several options:

On some MacOS X version, The Java Service Wrapper used by Continuum doesn't work with an error like this:

You can run $CONTINUUM/bin/plexus.sh instead.

This script is only for sparc processor. If you have an Intel processor, you must run $CONTINUUM/bin/plexus.sh instead.

If your SCM support hook scripts, you'll need to write an xml-rpc client for Continuum and call it in your post-commit script.

You have to modify the file application.xml (located in WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/plexus). Find the line with org.apache.maven.continuum.configuration.ConfigurationService and the values in default-goals and default-arguments. org.apache.maven.continuum.configuration.ConfigurationService org.apache.maven.continuum.configuration.DefaultConfigurationService org.apache.maven.continuum.store.ContinuumStore jdo store ${plexus.home} uncomment the component the replace here to override default-goals and default-arguments clean:clean jar:install clean install -B -N
