making a project plugin is a good tip.

I make CruiseControl include files where the project definitions look like


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE cruisecontrol [
<!ENTITY branch.entity SYSTEM "branch.entity">
]>
<cruisecontrol>
  &ivybranch.entity;

<project name="foo_${branch}">
...
</project>

<project name="bar_${branch}">
...
</project>

</cruisecontrol>

the branch.entity will contain <property name="branch" value="trunk"/>
for instance.

The cruisecontrol config file with the list of projects should be also
maintained in different branches to record changes of the list of
projects in your build stack, and merged at the same time as the rest of
the code.

Antoine
