Installing Hudson |
Hudson can be downloaded from both eclipse.org and hudson-ci.org. More information about the available distributions can be found here.
Hudson only needs a Java 6 or newer runtime. An internet connection will be required if you want to be able to install and auto-update plug-ins.
WAR file
After you download hudson.war, you can launch it by executing java -jar hudson.war. In this mode Hudson uses the bundled Jetty Web Server. The war can be deployed to other web servers such as such as Glassfish, Tomcat, JBoss etc. See Containers for more about container-specific installation instruction.
Unix/Linux Installation
The Hudson project provides native packages for various Linux distributions. These are the simplest way to run Hudson in production, since the packages set up user, service and all other configuration as well as integrate with the native upgrade mechanism of the operating system.
- Installing Hudson on Ubuntu and Debian
- Installing Hudson on Oracle Enterprise Linux, RedHat, CentOS & Fedora
- Installing Hudson on openSUSE
For other operating systems check out the following pages for help.
- Installing Hudson as a Unix daemon
- Installing Hudson on Gentoo
- Hudson-ci/Installing Hudson FreeBSD
- Installing Hudson as Solaris 10 service
Alternatively, if you have a servlet container that supports Servlet 2.4/JSP 2.0, such as Glassfish v2, Tomcat 5 (or any later versions), you can run them as services, and deploy hudson.war as you would any other war file. Containers documentation is available if you choose this route.
Windows Installation
If you're running on Windows you might want to run Hudson as a service so it starts up automatically without requiring a user to log in. The easiest way is follow Installing Hudson as a Windows service. Alternatively, you can install a servlet container like GlassFish and Tomcat, which can run as a service by itself, and then deploy Hudson to it.
Since Hudson was written to work on unix-like platforms, some parts assume the presence of unix-utilities. It is advised to install these as well on Windows. Install UnxUtils (this includes a shell that seems to work with forward and backwards slashes and does globbing correctly), put it in the Windows PATH, and copy sh.exe to C:\bin\sh.exe (or whichever drive you use) to make shebang lines work. This should get you going.
If you're running on Windows you might want to run Hudson as a service so it starts up automatically without requiring a user to log in. One way is to first install Tomcat as a service and then deploy Hudson to it in the usual way. Another way is to use the Java Service Wrapper. However, there may be problems using the service wrapper, because the Main class in Hudson in the default namespace conflicts with the service wrapper main class. Deploying inside a service container (Tomcat, Jetty, etc.) is probably more straightforward, even for developers without experience with such containers.

It's ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Robert Siegel.
And I'm Melissa Block.
Two Connecticut police officers are on trial in federal court this week. They're accused of harassing and intimidating Latino residents in the city of East Haven. The police department there has been working to change a culture of discrimination. Jeff Cohen of our member station WNPR has the story.
JEFF COHEN, BYLINE: Customers are streaming into the Guti'z Bakery for lunch - soups, stews, fried fish, empanadas. Behind the counter is Tania Chacon. From here, she can look out of the store's glass windows and see across the street where she says the East Haven police used to park their cars so often that it seemed that the bakery had its own security. Except Chacon says officers weren't protecting customers. They were targeting them.
TANIA CHACON: (Through Translator) They wouldn't even start their cars, and they were parked right out front like those cars now, and the police would pull behind them and park. They didn't have any pretext. Nothing. I think it was simply because they saw Hispanics, they assumed that no one had a license.
COHEN: But that was five years ago. Now, things are different.
CHACON: (Foreign language spoken)
COHEN: She says there's been a total change and that police don't bother people at all anymore. In 2009, the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division began to investigate. It eventually found that the East Haven Police Department violated the Constitution by systematically discriminating against Latinos. It also found that the department's leadership intentionally ignored the misconduct. The town and the federal government eventually reached an agreement on the findings, and the police department, with a new chief and an independent overseer, is working on reforms.
Meanwhile, two of the department's officers have pleaded guilty to related criminal charges. Two more, David Cari and Dennis Spaulding, go on trial this week. They're charged with civil rights violations, including making unreasonable searches and seizures and arresting Latinos without probable cause.
ANGEL FERNANDEZ-CHAVERO: Hopefully, we're coming close to something of a conclusion from what was going on since mid-2008.
COHEN: That's Angel Fernandez-Chavero. He's a lay leader at the St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in New Haven. The church is the spiritual home for many of the region's Latinos.
FERNANDEZ-CHAVERO: Things are better in that I don't have to worry about driving to Guti'z Bakery and getting profiled and maybe getting beaten up. That's how things are better. Does the community have a complete and unquestioned sense of trust toward the police department? Absolutely not.
COHEN: But to say things are better implies that they were bad to begin with. Hugh Keefe doesn't buy that. He's been the trial attorney for the town of East Haven for 30 years.
HUGH KEEFE: They have never been required to prove the accusations that they have made against either the East Haven police department or the individual police officers in a court. The only thing they've done is have press releases. They have given press releases to sympathetic media. They have given television interviews, radio interviews like this unchallenged, completely unchallenged.
COHEN: East Haven's mayor and police chief declined to comment. But Keefe says the town entered into an agreement with the federal government to reform the police force as a way of calling a truce, not because it admitted any wrongdoing. And when it comes to the criminal cases against officers Cari and Spaulding, he doubts prosecutors have enough for a conviction.
KEEFE: Anybody can make an accusation against anybody saying anything. That's one thing. It's quite another to go into a courtroom and prove it.
COHEN: That's what the government will try and do this week. For NPR News, I'm Jeff Cohen in Hartford. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Penile Implants for Erection Problems
Surgery Overview
Penile implants to treat erection problems (erectile dysfunction) are either semirigid (noninflatable) or inflatable cylinders that replace the spongy tissue (corpora cavernosum) inside the penis that fills with blood during an erection. The implants come in a variety of diameters and lengths.
Noninflatable (or semirigid) implants are always firm. They can be bent into different positions (outward to have sex and back toward the body to conceal under clothing).
There are two kinds of inflatable implants. Both have cylinders in the shaft of the penis, a reservoir that holds salt water, and a pump to move the salt water from the reservoir to the cylinders. You create an erection by pumping salt water out of the reservoir and into the cylinders. The release valve on the pump drains the salt water out of the cylinders and back into the reservoir.
- A three-chamber inflatable implant has the cylinders in the penis, the reservoir in the belly, and the pump and release valve in the scrotum. The reservoir in this type of implant is larger and separate from the cylinders.
- A two-chamber inflatable implant has the reservoir at the beginning of the cylinders (at the base of the penis) and the pump and release valve in the scrotum.
Surgery will be done using regional or general anesthesia. The implants are inserted through an incision made in the penis, lower abdomen, or scrotum. A thin flexible tube (catheter) is inserted briefly up the urethra and into the bladder to drain urine.
A three-chamber implant is usually more reliable than a two-chamber implant. Inserting the three-chamber implant is a slightly more complicated surgery.
What To Expect
You likely will stay 1 or 2 days in the hospital. You will take antibiotics for up to 2 weeks after surgery to prevent infection.
The urinary catheter is used for about 1 day after surgery.
Do not wear tight underwear or clothing until the surgical incision has healed. Men with inflatable implants may need to avoid tight clothing for 6 weeks to avoid pushing the saline reservoir out of position.
You can typically return to strenuous physical activity and sex after about a month. Inflatable implants usually are not inflated for a month.
Why It Is Done
Penile implants are an option when other, less invasive treatments for erection problems have not been successful and further treatment is desired.
Implants may be the treatment of choice for young and middle-aged men who have erection problems from physical causes. Penile implants may be appropriate treatment for men who have erection problems caused by:
- Diabetes.
- Pelvic surgery.
- Blood vessel disease.
- Injury to the pelvis, genitals, or spinal cord.
- Peyronie's disease, a curvature of the penis caused by scar tissue.
Because implants permanently change the tissue in the penis, they are not used for men whose erection problems are psychological.
How Well It Works
There is not enough evidence to say how well penile implants work. But experts agree that they are likely to help with erection problems. There are reports that most men are satisfied with the results.footnote 1
An erection with a properly working implant may seem more natural than one from other, nonsurgical methods, such as a vacuum device. The head (glans) of the penis is not made fully rigid by the devices. Noninflatable (semirigid) implants do not increase the size of the penis or produce the fullness of a natural erection.
Implants do not interfere with ejaculation, although ejaculation and orgasm are not ensured. Implants neither increase nor decrease sexual desire.
Noninflatable implants and inflatable devices can last indefinitely.
The site of the implant may become infected. The risk of infection is higher in men who have diabetes, spinal cord injuries, or urinary tract infections. If the infection is severe, the implant must be removed.
Sometimes, pain may require removal of the implant.
The most common cause of failure is leakage from the cylinders. Other, less common complications include the following:
- Tissue near the implant may be injured (erosion).
- The implant may break through the skin.
- The implant may break.
- The implant may be positioned incorrectly.
- The implant may be defective and not work.
What To Think About
When considering surgery for erection problems, it is important to include your partner in your decision.
It is important that you have realistic expectations about the type of erections you can have with an implant. The use of penile implants is declining as men consider the risks of surgery—including infections—and as other options become available, such as vacuum pumps, injections, and medicines.
No problems have been reported from the shedding of silicone particles from the implants.
Semirigid (noninflatable) implants are the least expensive option. This surgery is usually covered by insurance policies and by Medicare.

"Before the mirror I look like a sahara desert gost"
"The light in me sees the light in you"
Snail Poem
Make my grave shape of heart so like a flower be free aired & handsome felt,
Grave root pillow, tung up from grave & wigle at blown up clowd.
Ear turnes close to underlayer of green felt moss & sound of rain dribble thru this layer down to the roots that will tickle my ear.
Hay grave, my toes need cutting so file away in sound curve or
Garbage grave, way above my head, blood will soon trickle in my ear -- no choise but the grave, so cat & sheep are daisey turned.
Train will tug my grave, my breath hueing gentil vapor between weel & track.
So kitten string & ball, jumpe over this mound so gently & cutely
So my toe can curl & become a snail & go curiousely on its way.
"The Shelleyan farmer astride his Pegasusian tractor" as Gregory Corso once knighted him passed on today, May 30 2010 to the elysian fields, a bardo of becoming. First glance hour earlier Peter was resting with "trach" in throat in orange sheets at the kind Vt Respite Center in Williston, Vermont (but no extra tubes/ heroic measures for this advanced cancer on his lung!), a copy of the Songs of Saraha by his pillow, photo of beloved Allen Ginsberg companion of many years on the wall, other Buddhist images, iPod of music he loved including chants by Buddhist nuns, cards from friends and out the window a bird feeder with finch and red-winged blackbirds landing/taking off. Chuck and Judith Lief, faithful guardians and friends at his side. He had been moved less than 48 hours earlier from intensive care at a hospital in Boston, finally to hospice. His body we were touching we noticed suddenly turned cold like death was in the room. We got the nurse. Judy and I stepped out when suddenly Chuck called us back. Peter had opened his eyes. Chuck said "It might be the last time". By his side now, looking into his eyes told out love, I thanked him for his presence in our lives, his poetry his care and love for Allen, his work at Naropa. Ah, I thought a flash of recognition shivering through! slight movement of mouth, light coming in on his handsome face through the window now, and Judy singing om a hum vajra guua padma siddhi hum in crystal voice said "don't be afraid". Joined in. Last breaths, one coming late, staggered: his heart/breath stopt. Poet Christina Lovin in room with nurse gave gentle witness who checked the clock 11:39 I think or so a.m. Earlier we'd played recording of Peter singing his Raspberry Song with great heart-soaring yodel and "how sweet you are". "Make my grave shape of heart so like a flower be free aired and handsome felt" ("The Snail"). Tibetan Book of the Dead readings, in full final repose arranged with blue shirt, hands folded, consciousness a joyful gardener sprite? no fear, no fear working its way out…

Biographical note: Peter Orlovsky
"My biography was born July 1933. Grew up with dirty feet & giggles. Cant stand dust so pick my nose. Trouble in school: always thinking dreaming sad mistry problems. Quit high school in middle of last term & got lost working in Mental hospital old man's bed slopy ward. Love pretzles & cant remember dreams anymore. Will somebody please buy me mountain with a cave up there. I dont speack any more. Wanted to be a farmer went to high school for that & worked hard, hard, I tell you, very hard, you'd be amazed. Did weight lifting with bus stops. Got to enjoy burnt bacon with mothers help. Stare at my feet to much & need to undue paroniac suden clowds. Enjoy mopping floors, cleaning up cat vommit. Enjoy swinning underwater. I want the moon for fun. Getting to enjoy blank mind state, especially in tub. This summer got to like flies tickleing nose & face. I demand piss be sold on the market, it would help people to get to know eachother. I.Q. 90 in school, now specialized I.Q. is thousands."
In our presence Peter was never anything but gentle, sweet and kind. A lovely and wise person, with as it sometimes seemed a vulnerability as of someone at intermittent distance of abstracted remove from this world (I believe I envied him that) yet always in the same moment very much right here, with the dirt of the earth on his bare feet whenever possible. And indeed he was tougher than the rest. All through one icy Colorado winter, I would bump into him in the street, with snow on the pavement, in light clothing, never any shoes. Nature boy. Because he often was outshone in the domestic constellation it was sometimes thought by the imperceptive that he wasn't there. I was never tempted to think that, in fact the reverse. An intense unthreatening presence. Hey, where's Peter? Banging pans around in the kitchen, a dissonant music when necessary to keep the celestial mechanics in order. Peter, genius loci. In fact because of the feeling, probably errant as the deepest truths of human relations are (no doubt for good reason) hidden from understanding, that he was a kind of appointed protector for the poet friend, I suppose I was in the habit of thinking of him as a bit of an angel (though the last time I saw him was in a tipi, of all places). Angels of course are our superiors. Namaste, Peter.

It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne with Steve Inskeep.
The heirs to one Latin America's biggest media conglomerates, a brother and a sister, spent years with their real identities in question. They've long been thought to be part of a group of children stolen from their birth parents more than 30 years ago. That was during Argentina's Dirty War, the terror campaign waged by the military junta then ruling Argentina against members of the opposition.
The famed grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo campaigned for decades to find those children and return them to their original families. Francisco Goldman of the New Yorker spoke from Buenos Aires with Steve about the puzzling story of Marcela and Felipe, the adopted children of media mogul Ernestina Noble.
FRANCISCO GOLDMAN: She's sort of Argentina's Rupert Murdoch, if you will, right? And when the accusations arose that they may have been appropriated children of the disappeared - that's referring back to the late '70s when there was a military coup here in Argentina, and under what they called the Process Of National Reorganization tens of thousands of young, mostly young Argentines, were taken into secret detention centers, secret prisons, torture centers, where most of them were, you know, tortured and killed.
And it meant that people would be put in a plane, say, and thrown out of a plane over the water somewhere?
GOLDMAN: Well, what would happen - some percentage of the disappeared were women, a large percentage. And some percentage of those disappeared were pregnant. And they were often kept alive until they'd given birth, and then loaded on to one of those death flights.
INSKEEP: So you follow the story of a grandmother who, for decades, has been searching, searching for children. How did she come to think that her granddaughter was the adopted daughter of this media mogul?
GOLDMAN: Well, because the media mogul was very close to the military dictatorship. Her children were adopted in the first month of the coup. And the thing that really struck her, as she put it, was in the early years when the dictatorship ended, she would see Ernestina Noble, who's a big high society woman here in Argentina, taking the children on these world tours, you know, taking her to Europe.
And she'd see news footage of the children being received by, you know, French presidents and by the pope and so forth. And she thought this little girl had a great resemblance to herself and to her daughter-in-law.
And it was just an intuition. You know, she thought she had a family resemblance. That's often all they had to go on. Later on, of course, DNA testing became the fundamental way of proving whether somebody was actually your missing granddaughter or not.
INSKEEP: Well, has she been able to force that kind of testing here?
GOLDMAN: Well, yes, that's been the real heart of this story, is the way the grandmothers in collaboration with some scientists in the United States formed here the National Bank of Genetic Data, where families who think they are, you know, they may have had grandchildren stolen from them, from their murdered children, deposit their blood. It's a DNA bank.
And finally you'll get to a point, if people think there's a good reason to suspect that this child might be an appropriated child - and you're talking about when you say children, now you're talking about people in their 30s - the courts can order DNA testing. And that's what happened in this case. It was a 10 year legal battle to get the children of Ernestina Noble tested.
INSKEEP: And this is all happening on the front pages of newspapers, it's happening on television, massive news coverage.
GOLDMAN: Yes. I mean it's at such a level of popular scandal that finally the children suddenly announced: Let's put an end to this, we're ready to be DNA tested, we're ready to have the results.
You should've seen it. I mean, the day they went into the hospital to give their blood, it was like a massive paparazzi scene, you know. People with telephoto lens climbing the fences outside the hospital to try and get a shot of the siblings, you know, coming out of their armored SUVs and going in to give their blood. It was a huge massive media event here. And so finally this story finally came to sort of an end.
INSKEEP: Sort of an end. I need to know what. What was the end?
GOLDMAN: The end is that for now the results seem to be negative. So then the question is, why was all Argentina put through this?
INSKEEP: So the adopted children of the media mogul have not been proven to be children of the disappeared. But some other children have been so proven by DNA testing.
GOLDMAN: One hundred and five so far.
INSKEEP: You mention one of them in particular, and you write something that really struck me, that the grandmother succeeded in matching a 21-year-old to her biological family and her adoptive parents were sentenced to prison.
GOLDMAN: Yeah.
INSKEEP: Now, you describe that as a historic triumph for the grandmothers, which it was. They struggled for decades to get that.
GOLDMAN: Right.
INSKEEP: And yet, when I read that, I didn't feel like I was a reading of a triumph. I felt I was reading of a tragedy, of a 21-year-old who finds out that the only parents she's ever known stole her and they go to prison.
GOLDMAN: Yeah.
INSKEEP: That sounds awful.
GOLDMAN: It is awful. It's why this is such a wrenching story. But there's also something that I have found speaking to all these kids. It's human nature to want to know where you come from. And however this finally gets handled when you're proven to have been an appropriated stolen child, there's always for many of them a great relief and comfort in finally knowing who you are and knowing what your past is and knowing that you're a part of this national historical event in Argentina. You know, so it's a story that's a combination of a lot of things: tragedy and also recovery of family. So these stories are very complicated; there's every kind of story.
INSKEEP: Francisco Goldman is a reporter for The New Yorker and author of "Children of the Dirty War" in the latest issue.
Mr. Goldman, thanks very much.
GOLDMAN: Thank you very much. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

At the electronics mecca that is CES, it's easy to get caught up in all the big ideas–things like Ultra HD, connected cars and natural input–that aim to transform the world. But sometimes, the neatest gadgets can be found on the fringes of the show floor, where the goal is simply to make life a little easier.
Here are a few of my favorite small-scale, clever ideas from CES 2013:
Wi-Fi-Connected Light Bulbs (pictured above)
Greenwave Reality has gotten rid off all the electrical work required to remotely control your house's lighting, and instead just stuck Wi-Fi chips in its light bulbs. That allows users to turn lights on or off–either by room or individual bulb–through a free smartphone and tablet app, or with an included remote control. Users can also set lighting profiles, such as "Work" or "Away," and program daily lighting routines.
The up-front price is a bit steep, at roughly $200 for a starter kit with four bulbs, a wireless gateway and a remote control, and each additional bulb costs $20. But GreenWave claims that a well-configured home would save $150 per year on energy costs. Greenwave is working with distribution partners instead of selling the bulbs directly, and hopes to have them on the U.S. market within 60 days.
You like listening to music before bed. Your spouse does not. A company called AcousticSheep has the solution: SleepPhones is a headband with two small speakers located around the ears, so it's more comfortable to wear in bed than earbuds or headphones. The headband can double as an eye mask and custom phone cases as well.
Although the wired version of SleepPhones has been around for years, AcousticSheep is just getting around to releasing a Bluetooth version in April, so you won't have to worry about strangling yourself with an audio cable. It'll also have a built-in button that controls volume and playback, and should last between 5-7 hours per charge when listening to music. The company's hoping to hit a price of $80.
Tethercell allows an iPhone or Android phone to serve as a remote control for battery-powered devices. Just stick a AAA battery inside Tethercell's AA-sized enclosure, and pop it into one of the battery slots on your device. The Tethercell connects to the phone via Bluetooth, and uses an app to provide or kill power to each device.
The makers of Tethercell are trying to get funded on the crowdsourcing site Indiegogo, and are selling Tethercell units for $35 each. Next, they'll work on a version for 9V batteries.
Alcatel One Touch Link W800
Why do we have to choose between a wireless hotspot or a laptop USB stick for our mobile broadband needs? Alcatel has combined the hotspot and USB stick into one modular device. When the stick is plugged into the battery pack, it offers 8 hours of LTE connectivity for up to 10 devices. It also comes with connectors for wall outlets and car cigarette lighters.
Of course, it'll be up to wireless service providers such as AT&T to offer the device on their networks. Alcatel won't give details, but says the One Touch Link will hit the United States in the third quarter of this year.
Breffo Stick Stand
U.K.-based Breffo has come up with what might be the most minimal phone and tablet stands around. The Stick Stand is a small, bendable strip, covered in the same grippy material found in the company's excellent Spiderpodiums (of which I own the tablet version). Just form the strip into a ridge, and it'll keep a phone or tablet propped up for movie viewing or remote control gaming. It's basically the stand for people who don't want to carry any more bulky hardware around..
As with the Spiderpodium, there will be phone and tablet versions–the former running the length of an iPhone, the latter running the length of an iPad–and they should be available in about three weeks. Stick Stand for phones will cost about $15, but I'm not sure about tablet stand pricing yet.
