Thanks to Atlassian we have a CI setup for ApacheDS trunk and ApacheDS 1.0. The build is triggered when the revision number for the checkout directory changes. A check for this occurs every 180 seconds. So to induce a change to trigger the build you should change this file: i.e. just increment the build number in here. The reason why changes in the directories do not result in a build are due to the use of externals. Here's the URL for the CI setup on Apache Directory Trunk: http://opensource.bamboo.atlassian.com/browse/APACHE-DS Build Number: 12
