Nightwatch is a versatile build scheduler that supports multiple build styles such as Maven, Make, and Ant. It automates the build process and can be scheduled to run builds at specific times or intervals.
The tool is highly customizable and pluggable, allowing users to tailor it to their specific needs. Once a build is complete, Nightwatch generates a web site displaying the build results. Each project has its own site, making it easy to view the progress of each project.
For builds that generate reports, such as Maven, Nightwatch can generate trend reports for long-term tracking. Notification of build results can also be set up, ensuring that the user is always informed of changes in the build status.
The latest release of Nightwatch includes an improved GUI and notification system. However, it's important to note that the notification feature is mainly designed for use on Linux systems. Solaris users will need to wait for a future upgrade.
Overall, Nightwatch is an excellent build scheduler that is highly customizable and offers a range of useful features to streamline the build process. Whether you're a software developer or project manager, this tool is definitely worth considering.
