How to build reliably - almost any platform ?? check this out

CruiseControl

CruiseControl is a framework for a continuous build process. It includes, but is not limited to, plugins for email notification, Ant, and various source control tools. A web interface is provided to view the details of the current and previous builds.

CruiseControl is distributed under a BSD-style license and is free for use. CruiseControl adheres to an open source model and therefore makes the source code freely available.

CruiseControl is maintained and developed by a group of dedicated volunteers.

What is Continuous Integration?

Continuous Integration by Martin Fowler and Matthew Foemmel.

An important part of any software development process is getting reliable builds of the software. Despite its importance, we are often surprised when this isn't done. We stress a fully automated and reproducible build, including testing, that runs many times a day. This allows each developer to integrate daily thus reducing integration problems.
