Thanks! It's cool that your group understands how to do that.  Where I 
used to work was Java and I left right before they picked up ant.  But 
continuous integration wasn't really done back then.  My current system 
is a disaster so I won't talk about it.

Anyone know any good papers on how to implement continuous integration? 
  We have C, C++, Java, and a sprinkling of many other things so Java 
centric doesn't help much.

Anyone use things like Clear Case's build integration stuff (Clear Make 
is it?)  The add-on stuff where the version control system can build 
(and version) the binaries?  Can anyone articulate why that's so great? 
  (I've read the advertising but not understood it.)  There's an Open 
Source system called Vesta that seems to do the same.
