If you're an Eclipse project, I recommend using Athena because it works 
pretty well. Once you get it working locally (wasn't that much of pain, 
I had some issues with downloading files that caused some unzipping 
errors which were related due to the integrity of the files... stupid 
incomplete downloads), it's pretty easy to setup on the Athena build 
server at Eclipse:

https://build.eclipse.org/hudson/view/Athena%20CBI/

In the end, you'll have a main build file for build.eclipse.org and a 
local one for you based on your OS and all that good stuff. It took me 
about half a day to get everything working.
