Scheduling Project Build

    Schedules determine the project's time interval to build.
    
    When scheduled builds are triggered, there is no dependency ordering between project groups
    and the following happens:
    
    * Projects are updated from the SCM.
      These are queued under the Prepare Build Queues section in <<Queues>> page.
    
    * Builds of the projects are executed.
      These are queued under the Build Queues in <<Queues>> page.
    
    []
    
    If there are duplicates of a project in <<another project group>> (duplicates would mean
    another instance of a project with the same groupId, artifactId, and version),
    both projects are built.
    
    However, if there are duplicates of a project in the <<same project group>>, only one (1)
    of the projects is built.
    
    To configure a scheduled build:

    [[1]] Create a schedule. You can refer to {{{../../administrator_guides/schedules.html} Managing Schedules}} section.

    [[2]] Add a build definition to a project using the schedule created in step 1 for the <<Schedule>> field.
       You can refer to the section {{{../managing_builddef/index.html} Managing Build Definitions}}.
