This included a complex Maven multi-module subversion installation with Continuum and Archiva for artifact management. The maven build employed HSQL memory database, embedded JBoss, Tomcat 5.5, and JBoss 4.2. I then setup a full continuous integration where DBUnit and HSQL would test all database services. Then Selenium with Jetty, Tomcat and JBoss would startup in memory to perform functional tests during the build process. We where able to achieve +84% code coverage.
