[cross-project-issues-dev] Yet another Hudson thread: I need your help c

[Denis Roy <denis.roy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

I'd like to create a Hudson performance benchmark/test job on our Hudson 
instance that will invoke a bunch of common build actions in the hopes 
of providing us with some troubleshooting tools should builds begin to 
fail, or take time.

Ideally, this job would:
a) checkout some random piece of code from Eclipse CVS/SVN and Git
b) fetch dependencies from eclipse.org servers
c) fetch dependencies from one or two external servers
d) build stuff
e) move build artifacts to /shared
f) work as-is for the next few years

If each step is timestamped, over time we should have an idea of how 
Hudson performs at the various tasks.  Also, when builds seem to hang, 
we (webmasters) and you could possibly run this job to help with 
troubleshooting, and to determine if all systems are working correctly.

At this point, I'm not sure where to start (besides creating a Job) so 
I've opened bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=339416

Thanks,

Denis
