[PJUG Javamail] What continuous build software do you use...

[Bill Jackson]

    I have to second the Jive guys' endorsement last night of TeamCity.  
I started using it last year, and I absolutely love it!  It has the 
positive features of Hudson listed below, but setting up Windows slaves 
("agents" in the TeamCity parlance) is a breeze, and I haven't noticed 
any slowness in the UI.  I haven't tried customizing the UI, but the 
layout should be, I believe it is all CSS.  (Doug, have you experimented 
with any customization?)

    Of course, a negative for some people is that it's not free (in 
either sense) software... however, an IntelliJ IDEA license is also a 
TeamCity license, and it's worth the money for IDEA alone.  ;)

-Bill
P.S.  It should go without saying on this list, but my opinions are my 
own and not my employer's.  :)
