The first part of a series of posts on Grails and Hudson leading up to a presentation at the London Groovy & Grails User Group. Subsequent instalments will include testing (unit, integration, functional), test coverage, automatic war deployment and monitoring Hudson with Opsview Enterprise.
Opsview is a leading Open Source application and network monitoring suite. Labs is where our engineers discuss new projects, new approaches and new frameworks they’re using.
