Question

I have a project A that is dependent on other projects B,C,D.

If A changes then I want A to be built (Done)
Now if B,C or D changes I want them (the ones that changed) to be built then their binaries must be copied to A and then A must be built.

I am using the artifact plugin to copy the binaries but I do not store the bin folders in my SCM (subversion).

How do I setup my “Artifacts to copy” and “target location” boxes.

You can use the Build triggers inside the project A config. You can check the Build after other projects are built specifying the B, C and D projects.

Then you can add a step in the project A build process, adding a command you can execute a shell script copying the needed files from projects B, C and D inside the project A just before the build starts.
