Configure HUDSON CI tool in Tomcat

I thought of automating the build and deployment process to reduce  the efforts that my team spends and minimize the errors that we see later while integrating and deploying to production by adopting one Continuous Integration (CI) tool into my project. I chose HUDSON as it is very simple to configure, opensource, widely adopted and I used it in one of my previous projects (5 years back). Here are the steps to configure Hudson in Tomcat

·         Download Hudson.war file from http://eclipse.org/hudson/download.php

·         Go through the best practices http://wiki.eclipse.org/Hudson-ci/Hudson_Best_Practices

·         Deploy the war file into your favorite web container(Tomcat, JBoss..etc)

·         You may need to tweak your JVM memory options like set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xms128m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -server" https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E40518_01/integrator.311/integrator_install/src/cli_ldi_server_config.html

·         Start your web container and open it in browser (http://localhost:8080/hudson-3.2.1/)

·         Select or unselect required plugins and enter your proxy details if you are under proxy

·         It will download those plugins and will be ready to start play around it

2.      Install git from http://git-scm.com/ all default options except one change as  shown below

a.     If you are under proxy you may need to specify proxy details as environment variables

                                                              i.      set HTTP_PROXY http://domain\username:password@proxyserver:port

                                                            ii.      set HTTPS_PROXY http://domain\username:password@proxyserver:port

                                                          iii.      set all_proxy http://domain\username:password@proxyserver:port

                                                          iv.      git config --global http.sslverify false

3.      Install Netbeans IDE 8.0.1 if you don’t have one

4.      Create HTML5 project using angularjs seed.

5.     You can see red mark on the project folder which you can resolve by right clicking on the project folder and selecting ‘Resolve project problems’

a.     If you are under proxy you may need to set proxy details in /.bowerrc as below

                                                              i.      "registry": "http://bower.herokuapp.com",

                                                            ii.      "proxy": "http://”username:password”@proxyserver:port".

                                                          iii.      "https-proxy": "http://”username:password”@proxyserver:port",

                                                          iv.      "strict-ssl": false.

6.     Now you can simply run this project in Netbeans just like any other project.

Google+ will be in developer's hand soon..

Hi All,
I know many of you have known about Google+ by this time. I know what makes you crazy about Google Plus. It is a rock solid Social networking application from the Legendary Google. Till now I can say , I love FB in social networking but now Google+ is added to the list and heading towards top. It is really cool.

As a developer, I can even think about making some cool plug-ins or add-ons or whatever you call it is, to make Google Plus more yummy... :) . But Google  not released any API publicly  :(  So waiting eagerly for it. I know the developer inside you is  also waiting for this. You can even register to get updates on API whenever it is available. So you never miss the opportunity to spice it up.
