I have now twice spent multiple days trying to get a Gitblit server to communicate with a Jenkins server over SSH. This was done as part of ongoing work to update the Coveros SecureCI product with the goal of properly configuring both tools and a self-signed certificate to enable Gitblit’s post-commit jenkins hook to trigger builds. Given that […]

Ivysettings.xml In my last project I was introduced to Ivy and Ant working together to handle library dependencies. Since Ant does not have a native automatic dependency resolution built in, we had to incorporate Ivy into the picture to manage all the necessary files for the code to compile.
