Ok, that is just about enough Hudson for this month, unless I get fired up about Selenium and try out the Hudson integration! I did find one more useful plug-in this week, the Task Scanner. Because I tend to check in code early and often, my code is typically in an incomplete state; you will tend see a lot of TODO or FIXME comments in the code. Managing these task inside of Eclipse is easy enough, but I thought it might be interesting to also monitor them on Hudson’s dashboard.
The plug-in is very easy to configure and allows you to specify thresholds on the number of open tasks. Like most other plug-ins, it generates configurable trend graphs and provides a convenient task browsing screen.
Here was an interesting blog post that shows how you could use the plug-in to determine how messy your SVN merges will be… kind of cool..
