Re: Multiple instances of CC

We use multiple instances in order to manage several projects 
independently of
each other (one project with its branches on each instance). With a 
single bin
we wanted to keep the discspace and costs of configuration low.

We tried the antWorkingDir - it works. But we think that this not 
substitude the
antBuilderOutput.log and it is also not the same content.

At the moment we are not able to use multiple threads, because there are
dependencies between CC-projects on a single CC-instance. But we will try to
reorganize our Builds so that we are able to use multiple threads.

My main question remains whether CC is at all suitable for being used in
different instances. OR: Is there any reason not to create multiple 
instances on
one binary?

The other not answered question is: Is there any way to configure the 
log dir
for "Build Results JSP".
