BooksCpX in ActionPublished April/May 2007, and covering CpX 1.7. This is a major rewrite of the first edition; still 600 pages long. This book moves up from CpX1.5 to Java1.5 and 1.7, with a near-complete rewrite of the applied-ant section, covering new topics such as antlibs, repository management with Ivy, Xml Schema validation, EJB3.0/Java EE development and advanced deployment using SmartFrog. The ant coding section looks at CpXUnit, antlib authoring and scripting languages, while the beginners chapters, the first third of the book, still shows developers how to build, test, package and redistribute a Java application. If you are one of the 20,000+ owners of the first edition, it is now obsolete. Sorry :)
Available from: CpX: The Definitive Guide, 2nd editionPublished April 2005, and covers CpX release 1.6.1. This is a complete rewrite of the first edition; this book is now 290 pages and so covers CpX in more depth than its predecessor. It also mixes reference information (tables) with text explanation on how to use the tasks. Contents includes JUnit, CVS, execution, basic deployment, Web application development and XDoclet. There is also coverage of XDoclet, and a chapter on how to extend CpX in Java.
Available from: Pragmatic Project AutomationHow to Build, Deploy, and Monitor Java Applications. Published: July 2004 ISBN: 0-9745140-3-9 This is not a reference guide to CpX, but a book on how to automate the build process. The core build, continuous integration, reporting and release management are all covered. CpX is of course central to this. This is a fun read!
Available from: Extreme Programming with CpXThis book shows how to implement an XP project using CpX 1.5.3, and many other 3rd party tools. Covers:
