Buildix + Maven2

I've been spending a few days working with Buildix (cruise control, subversion) and maven2 recently. I would like to share my experiences with them here.

First at all, I have installed VMWare server (free for dev use) into one of the Dev Box in my company (yes, my company is a windows-based company). I downloaded the Buildix VMWare images and installed it into the VMWare server. Everything is pretty straight forward.

If you have install knoppix on your HD, the default locale in Buildix is UK, unless you live there, otherwise you need to change the locale.

look for lang=uk in the file /etc/lilo.conf

Knoppix will use DHCP to acquire the IP address for your sever, if you don't want to use dhcp, use netcardconfig, ifup/ifdown doesn't work for some reason.

(made sure you can connect to the internet because maven2 requires to download some libraries from the public repo)

One more thing ... If you are running VMWare, you will notice system time is lagging about 30s per min. In order to fix this, you need to edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst and search for the line kernal. Add parameters clock=pit nosmp noapic nolapic.

To Be Continued.......
