Does anyone have a simple example that they can show me? Thank you once 
again!

I think you might have the same mistaken impression I had when I first 
started looking at CruiseControl. CruiseControl does not directly run unit 
tests, it just allows for junit report files that are generated from the 
build to be properly merged into the build report. Structure your build so 
that the unit tests are run, and the XML output files are generated from 
JUnit, and then the "log" element can merge them in.

Hi everyone, 

         I am new to CruiseControl.  Currently, I have the BuildLoop set 
up, but I was a bit lost as to how I can incorporate unit tests into the 
build process so that when the build has completed successfully, unit 
tests can be run against what I've built and I can eventually see the test 
results as part of the build results in my logs.  I read in the "Getting 
Started with the Source Distribution" webpage that  in order for the 
"unittests" report to work, I'll need to tell CruiseControl to merge a 
separate XML log files generated by <junit> and <checkstyle> into my main 
CruiseControl log file. This is done by adding a 

<!-- directory to write build logs to -->
<log logdir="logs/MY_PROJECT_1">
   <merge dir="checkout/MY_PROJECT_1/build/junit-reports/"/>
</log> 

into config.xml 

Let's take for example I have a simple project that builds HelloWorld.java 
and that program only prints "This is just a simple test".  How can tell 
CruiseControl to run a unit test to see if  my complied HelloWorld program 
can print "This is just a simple test"?    Any help and suggestion would 
be greatly appreciated.
