Using CCTray to monitor CruiseControl Java

For the past few days I have been setting up my project's build environment using a both CruiseControl and CruiseControl.NET.

We needed a tool for informing us what is the status of the builds in the server. I tried configuring CruiseControl's jabber publisher. But somehow it didn't really work no messages were received although there were no errors. So ended up using CCTray that came with CruiseControl.NET for CruiseControl monitoring.

The url provided in the custom url portion of Add Server gives the wrong url for connecting to a normal CruiseControl. The correct URL is as below.

http://your.cc.server:8080/dashboard/cctray.xml

Now we had a uniform way of monitoring all builds from both the .NET version and the Java versions of CruiseControl.
