The first file describes how to invoke CruiseControl and TomCat. Then, it describes CruiseCntrol's Web Reporting Project (CCWR), which is a cruisecontrol.war file that gets placed in TomCat's webapps directory and is accessible via port 8080. You can use this CCWR to force builds. The file also describes CruiseControl's JMX console. Then, the files shows where the built zip files and built update site reside.

The second file describes how to set up the build environment for ECF. A sample build is performed with ant outside of CC. Then, the file describes some details about CC's config.xml file. The file contains an explanation of quiet time ... with a figure. Then, the file describes how the built files are uploaded and gives more details about config.xml.
