Bamboo and Maven in Reverse
So, everyone knows how Bamboo works brilliantly with Maven — it can build any Maven 1 or Maven 2 project out of the box, using just the metadata stored in the Maven’s project files. We use this capability of Bamboo to continuously build all of our Maven-based projects. You can see plenty of examples here, […]
