    I have downloaded hudson-2.2.1.war and started it using the command in the video, but I don't have the scripts referred to in the video. What do I do next?

    Hi. For the moment, let's arrange a teamviewer/skype session where i can demonstrate this example to you.
    Hudson has changed lots since this example was created. I am going to create a new video to demo this quickly and easily. Incidentally, please download jenkins.war from http://jenkins-ci.org/ website ( latest version is 1.489)
