What is BuildProcess ?

BuildProcess is a set of tools designed to automatic perform administration tasks : AutoDeploy is the main JEE deployment tool. The JEE administrator describes the list of network environments (application server, applications, database, etc) in a main XML file. This XML file can be modified by hand or using WebAutoDeploy, the web admin console. Periodically, AutoDeploy read this description file and update the environment. More informations. BuildEraser is an automatic file deletion tool. The disk space saturation is a classical problem for administrators. In fact, application server and applications generate a lot of files (log file, temporary files, etc). On the other hand, automatic build tools such as CruiseControl or AntHill, generate log files too. BuidEraser provides a multi-OS, automatic and networked way to delete files. WebBuildEraser is the web admin console of BuildEraser. More informations. AsMon is a web application which store description of all environments that the administrator need to manage. It store a lot of data such as the application server description (type, host, network port in use, etc), database description, application description (URI, version, etc), etc. AsMon can import data from the AutoDeploy XML file but has a discover system included : the administrator defines a network mask and AsMon sniff all IP address/network ports in the netmask to discover application server. AsMon includes monitoring tools to know if the environment is available or not and what is the status. More informations. BugzillaPublisher is a publisher for CruiseControl automatic build tool. It takes modifications set comments and add the build number in the bug description. More informations. MVeloce is a technical framework used in all web based application of BuildProcess suite. MVeloce is a MVC2 framework which use Apache Jakarta Velocity for the view part. More informations. All BuildProcess tools are distributed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 and tested on Linux, Solaris, AIX and Windows.
