Re: Simple get and build

CC does not update the source, but only checks if any changes have been 
made. The checks are done by the <modificationset> and then the 
<schedule> performs the 'work'. Part of that work is to update the files 
from the source control system, probably using an ant script.

Carefully read and re-read the CC cookbook at
http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CC/Home

There are a number of good examples that did not come clear to me the 
first few readings. Some escaped me until I had most everything working 
and was trying to clean up a few loose ends.

One of the biggest 'ah ha' moments came as I understood I could use the 
plugin feature to predefine a template project so I did not have to 
repeat everything for the nearly 30 projects I use CC to build.

This is a small subset of my config.xml file.

<project name="SomeProject">
...
<modificationset>
<svn LocalWorkingCopy="${build.dir}/${project.name}/MainSource" />
<svn LocalWorkingCopy="${build.dir}/${project.name}/Subproject1" />
<svn LocalWorkingCopy="${build.dir}/${project.name}/Subproject2" />
</modificationset>
...
<schedule>
<ant anthome="/<pathtoant>/apache-ant-1.7.1"
             time="0100"
             buildfile="${build.dir}/${project.name}/buildnightly.xml"
             target="buildnightly"
             uselogger="true" />
</schedule>
...
</project >
