In team project, CruiseControl is often in use to maintain a continuous build process. It is a Java program and it was first designed for Java development process. But as a successfully project, there is also a .NET implementation, called CruiseControl.NET. With this .NET implementation, Windows users can now benefit from a tiny tool called CCTray.

CCTray monitors the build process and informs a Windows user, if a build is successfully or if it has failed. This is done with a tiny balloon tip:

 

To use CCTray, download it from the Sourceforge project page. After the installation you can add your CruiseControl instance. Because we use a Java CruiseControl instance, you have to define the XML path. The Java CruiseControl provieds a XML servlet, which is accessible from http:// cruisecontrol/xml. After adding your Server, you can choose the projects, which should be monitored.

CCTray helps you to maintain the build process and is a tiny, but very helpful tool.
