I've been using maven2 and hudson for a while to do my continuous integration, but I find that Eclipse and Maven do not play well together. Sure there's a plugin, but it's cranky to mash the maven project into something that eclipse likes and the build times and unit test are too long. I'm considering switching back to a pure eclipse project with no ant and no maven involved. With the infinitest plugin and possible the JavaRebel agent, it would give me a very fast build-deploy-test cycle. However I'd still like to have automatic and testing as well, so:
How do I use continuous integration with an Eclipse project?
Is there a command line way to do it?
Is there a build server that already supports it natively?
I managed find a good solution. I simply got infinitest (can be installed from the Eclipse marketplace) to work when using maven and eclipse
In Eclipse->Project Properties->Java Build Path->Source uncheck the box called: "Allow output folders for source folders"
That will enable your project to have more than one output path and Eclipse will then start reporting the test-classes as being part of the class path. Infinitest now finds it and starts running tests!
All I did was use the official Maven Eclipse plugin and add this to my POM
