Integrating Anthill with a Problem Report systyem?

Hi,


	Has anybody given any thought to integration between Anthill and a 
Problem Report system like Bugzilla or similar?

	I have seen cases where a build was being done every 30mins. Sometimes 
it failed and remained failed for hours. Having it email again and again 
was a pain. Emails became noise. If we had Anthill add a Problem Report 
automatically to Bugzilla (or similar), that would have become noise 
too. What can be done, then?

	I was thinking that what you want is to be able to disable timed builds 
when a build fails. Basically, if a timed build fails you would:

1) enter a PR against Bugzilla or similar, attaching whatever report you 
wanted (junit output, whatever)
2) switch to non-timed builds
3) if the PR system was closed, have a way to switch the timed builds ON 
again


	Has anybody given this any thought? It would require a mechanism of 
plugins to talk to different PR systems (JIRA, Bugzilla, etc) and a 
mechanism to be notified back. Web Services is something that comes to 
mind here, but anything goes as long as it can be done in a 
straightforward manner?

	I think that #1 can be done with a custom Ant task. So, it could be 
invoked from the build.xml. The problem with that is that if the 
developer tests locally, he'd be sending a bug and you don't want that. 
You'd have to do a "If I am running inside ANthill then submit the PR". 
For #2 you'd need an Anthill option to "switch to another schedule if 
teh build fails", and make it switch to a apaused schedule. The real 
problem is #3, as it would require instrumenting the PR system and 
Anthill, so they talk to each other.


	Ideas? Suggestions? URLs?

	Thanks,
