Moved from Frequently Asked Questions because the problems they described are relevant to much older versions of CC.
Q: I want to run CC with JDK 1.5 / Java 5. Are there any known issues?
A: KnownIssuesWithJdk1.5
Q: CruiseControl creates a jar but not a war. How do I get it to create the war so I can deploy?
A: The reporting/jsp build.xml has a war target. Try "./build.sh war" (or "build.bat war" if on windows) in the cruisecontrol/reporting/jsp directory. This has been made the default target again in 2.1.6.
Q: How come the pause in my schedule doesn't work? I'm getting "[cc] Unknown plugin for: <pause>"
A: You need to map the [PauseBuilder] plugin to the pause element with in your config.xml:
<plugin name="pause"
classname="net.sourceforge.cruisecontrol.PauseBuilder"/>
BTW, you might want to upgrade to a newer version of CruiseControl, since the PauseBuilder is registered as a default plugin for quite some time now.
