Integrate Hudson into your TeamForge project

Hudson is a tool for managing and tracking builds. You can use it to continuously build and test sofware projects and to control external tasks such as cron jobs.

Get the CollabNet Build and Test Package
CollabNet Build and Test is Hudson repackaged with the TeamForge plugin included.

CollabNet Build and Test needs Java J2SE 1.6 or later to run. CollabNet Build and Test is released as a single WAR file. The easiest way to use CollabNet Build and Test is to use Hudson's built-in Winstone servlet container.
Download CollabNet Build and Test and execute it by running the following:

$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar ctfbuildtest-<version>.war

This command should be run on the machine you want to use as a Build and Test server, preferably a different server from the TeamForge server. No additional installation or database is needed.
