Continuous Integration - AntHillPro

I'm at the moment doing a review of AntHillPro for the company I work for.
Being used with CruiseControl for continuous integration i found a hell lot more of functionalities and the entire idea of live build and staging is really another level for release management.
As not "everything are roses" (translation of expression in portuguese meaning that not everything are that easy) I got quite a trouble with the documentation. Seriously, I sent them about 14 corrections and suggestions, and that was only in 2 pages!!! Didn't even got a "thanks". Hope at least they take that in account. I imagine no one in urbancode ever reviewed the documentation. The item 6 in this page with 12 paragraphs describing configuration on creating a job, which includes different pages, under one single title. I think that should be clearly restructured, if not totally re-written. At the end I managed to have a quick maven archetype project running in AHP. Well, reached the staging releases yet. Still trying to get my way around in the documentation ;) I will keep you updated on my findings
