04 Dec 2007 Learn how to implement a build management system that uses and
extends your existing automation technologies. This tutorial shows, step-by-step,
how to install and configure IBM® Rational® Build Forge™ to manage
builds for Jakarta Tomcat from source code. Integrate Build Forge with the
subversion version control system, used by the Tomcat team, for continuous
integration so Rational Build Forge rebuilds and deploys the latest version of
Tomcat whenever changes are committed to the subversion repository. Rational Build
Forge is legendary for its rapid return on investment. Learn how the implementation
described in this tutorial can reuse your investment in existing build automation
scripting. With this 2-part series, go from zero to 96 bpd (builds per day) in two
days.
In this tutorial
Objectives - Learn basic Build Forge concepts
- Install and set up Rational Forge
- Create Build Forge objects to represent build servers for the tutorial
- Configure a Hello World project to run
Prerequisites
It is assumed that you have some understanding of building applications based
on Java™ technology. Build Forge is language agnostic, but the Tomcat project is
written in the Java programming language. Experience with Apache Ant and Subversion is helpful, but not
required.
