• So you've found a vulnerability, now what?

  Hudson, like all web applications, is not immune from vulnerabilities that could open up attack vectors for malicious use. What puts Hudson in a league of its own compared to others is its ability to execute arbitrary commands on agent machines, or in the case of the EC2 plugin, execute arbitrary commands "in the cloud." In light of all this,...

• A new blog for Kohsuke

  Historically, our fearless leader Kohsuke has blogged on Java.net. The setup made a whole lot of sense when Kohsuke was employed by Sun, then Oracle, which sponsors and runs Java.net. In a post earlier this week discussing console markups, Kohsuke casually pointed out that he will be cross-posting to Java.net, and his personal blog located at kohsuke.org. The first post...

• Kohsuke leaves Sun

  Those of you on the users@ or dev@ mailing lists have likely already read that Kohsuke (left in the photo), the founder of the Hudson project, is leaving Sun. I say that he is leaving Sun, instead of leaving Oracle as Kohsuke worked at Sun for nine years and Oracle only a few months. In those nine years at Sun,...

• Want some Hudson stickers?

  Rarely do I ever get mail, let alone mail I like, so I was quite excited when a shipment of stickers from Hudson HQ arrived yesterday. I’m certain you’re thinking to yourself "what does this guy need hundreds of Hudson stickers for?" Fact is, I don’t! They’re not for me, they’re for you! I am willing to mail stickers vast...

• One month of Continuous Blog

  It’s been a little over a month since I pinged Kohsuke about an "official Hudson blog"; my role has been nothing more than writer and editor of a community resource, while I have invested a lot of time in Continuous Blog it is not "mine" so much as it is "ours." I feel I have a responsibility as the current...

• What new features do you want to see?

  Michael Donohue, a Hudson developer who has taken on the role of master bug triage guy for Hudson, does something regularly which I’ve really come to appreciate as a Hudson developer myself: he sends out emails to the dev list with the top 10 voted issues at that time. This gives those of us in the Hudson development community a...

• Call for Testers: The older the better

  A couple weeks ago in the post outlining the release of Hudson 1.347 I mentioned that Alan Harder (a.k.a. mindless) had undertaken a deprecation-crusade; that is to say Alan has taken it upon himself to rid Hudson’s code-base, particularly in the plugin area, of older code. One of Alan’s branches old-data-monitor was merged into trunk with r28147 bringing with it...

• Sonatype freeing projects from java.net's Maven repo

  Are you working on a project which uses java.net’s Maven repository for deploying its artifacts? Well, if so, there’s a great opportunity opening up for you to get off that problematic repository: Sonatype is helping java.net projects move to Sonatype’s hosted OSS Nexus repository, starting March 5th. We’re looking into moving Hudson over but for most smaller projects, this should be...
