Description

Having continuous integration configured for Kafka would help the project by

• ensuring that developers are notified when the build or tests break
• automates the publication of test coverage and performance information
• simplifies the process of publishing nightlies to both maven central and the package download site (which also makes it easier to get feedback on pre-release builds)

See http://ci.apache.org for Apache managed options. Jenkins seems the most appealing.
