As a big fan of hudson-ci I would like to take a note of the most commonly used hudson plug-ins (at least by me) needed in order to maintain a good build environment.
This list was collected as part of my experience in the last couple of years. I am sure your may differ then mine mine :).
More integration with Subversion:
Integration of the TortoiseSVN client into the PL/SQL Developer IDE (Beta-phase) - http://plsqldev-svn-plugin.tigris.org/
Simple add-in for Delphi and C++ Builder IDE's (a.k.a Borland Developer Studio, a.k.a Turbo Delphi/C++, a.k.a. CodeGear RAD Studio) - adds a menu with the most common TortoiseSVN commands to work with the current project file and an extra command to open an explorer window with current project (to access advanced TortoiseSVN commands). - http://delphiaddinfortortoisesvn.tigris.org/
Another subversion plugin for Borland Developer Studio or some of the Turbos that does not require TortoiseSVN (i.e. works directly with SVN) - http://sourceforge.net/projects/delphisvn/
Microsoft Office - Subversion integration: add-in scripts that invoke TortoiseSVN (Subversion Client) commands - http://code.google.com/p/msofficesvn/
Does anyone have experience with migrating a large NetBeans GUI project to Maven?
The project in question is divided into tens of submodules, contains hundreds of configuration files, and currently genmerates (using NetBeans's Ant files) a directory structure containing over 10,000 files and directories.
Is there any tool that does the job or some of it? Are you aware of NetBeans support for that scenario?
If you wish to "hang on" to a certain plugin which shipps with hudson.war just unpin it in the Manage Hudson >> Manage Plugins page - this option is availabe sine 1.374 release (and you can always grab the latest @: latest)
See full explanation below quoted from hudson wiki:
When I read this article a week ago or so I wasen't so excited from the improved search interface - Until I gave it a try.
Please note: in order to upgrade you will need to expire the cache of all the repositories - the improved search is a result of new lucene indexes included with 1.7.x version.
