Downloading and Setting Up Cruise Control.
Download a release of Cruise Control from http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net.
On windows workstations run the cruisecontrol.bat which runs the cruisecontrol web deployments inside a jetty(http://www.mortbay.org/jetty/) runtime.
Test the deployment by typing http://localhost:8080 . It will show a 404 Page Not Found but with a list of deployed contexts. Invoke http://locahost:8080/dashboard to view the Cruise Control dashboard which shows the build status.
It also provides a link to the cc-config JNLP network installer which would install and launch the thick client. The cc-config java thick client provides an easy to use management tool that lets you edit the configuration files or you can usehttp://localhost:8080/cruisecontrol/ to review the configuration and build logs.
