Re: [incubation] [cross-project-issues-dev] Travis CI and Eclipse Projec

["Torkild U. Resheim" <torkildr@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would not bet on the foundation staff spending a lot of time on Travis CI, as the Eclipse Foundation are investing quite a bit into CloudBees CJE (Enterprise grade Jenkins). I would try to get the most out of the latter. 

Build servers are a limited resource, also at Eclipse, but I believe there are plans to offer different configurations if two concurrent builds are not enough.

See Mikaël Barbero's blog post[1] and the migration FAQ[2] for some more information.

Another possibility is finding a sponsor for your project's own paid Travis CI subscription. Jenkins would also work but also does not offer unlimited scalability.
