7 Ways to optimise Jenkins/Hudson

We've been having some 'difficulties' with Jenkins the past couple of weeks. This whitepaper from the guy that wrote most of the Jenkins core code looks like it could be interesting... 7 Ways to optimise Jenkins/Hudson.

Hudson as an Alternative to TFS

I've been looking at alternatives to Team Foundation Server for my latest project's continuous integration tool... and I think I've found it!

Hudson was suggested to me by a colleague (Jonathan Relf) after his attempts with Cruise Control became a little frustrating.

You'll have Hudson installed and building your projects in under an hour unless you're stupid or get carried away with the large number of plugins, including a Chuck Norris plugin ;)

I particularly enjoyed...

• VERY easy to setup
• LOADS of plugins
• Setup, monitioring and configuration is all through a nice web based interface

I'll keep you posted with how I get on.
