Maven Cron / News: Recent posts

This is the first alpha release of mavencron. It is still VERY MUCH not ready for primetime, or if it is, I'm not comfortable enough to think it yet. It can be used in very simple settings, ie. calling a list of goals for each project to run at specified times, however, few pluggins have actually been tested, and this phase was more concerned about getting maven callable from the applilcation, and getting the Recurrance class to return "the next date" candidate. Issues I know of are in the bugs and features section in sourceforge.net.

A cron server for Jakarta Maven to facilitate the automated execution of goals. The recurrance criteria (eg. 'every day at midnight', 'every 4 hours', 'every Sunday night', etc.) is be specified within the project.xml file, and registered with this OS independent "service", which keeps track of all projects and all goals to be run. Although currently it just executes the maven run time, eventual integration with the maven tool to execute goals programatically.
