Hi this appears to be an update from the initial version I have read as the first one had Hudson being deployed on Tomcat. I have managed to follow these instructions down to section 8, where it appears to be accessed on http://localhost:9090/ rather than http:localhost:9090/hudson/. The next line has this novice lost however as it states that there will be two jobs "Portal" and "Plugins". I don't have any jobs showing? So I wonder, does this mean that two jobs need to be set up (instructions?), or is there something missing (my corporate dev env does not have internet access)? Thanks.

I managed to hunt down LEP-6633 that linked to the config.xml files before they were removed from source. I have downloaded them and attached to this page as hudson.zip. I have not added them to my dev env and tested yet as I am no longer at work but that would appear to explain why the 'Portal' and 'Plugins' job are missing at section 8 of the instructions.

This guide is mostly about installing Hudson, which is already covered in the Hudson documentation. What would be more useful is details on the specific configurations and issues regarding Liferay plugin -projects.
