====== Buildman - simplistic Continuous Integration tool ======
 
**Buildman** is a simple [[http://limb-project.com|Limb3]] based tool which helps to easily establish a [[http://www.martinfowler.com/articles/continuousIntegration.html|Continuous Integration]] process for your applications.

Buildman is a much simpler analogue of [[http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net|CruiseControl]], a popular and very flexible Java Continuous Integration tool. If Buildman doesn't suit your needs it's definitely worth taking a look at CruiseControl.
