      CCTray is a Windows application that adds an icon to your system tray. It connects to your CruiseControl.NET server(s) and shows green if everything has built properly, red if something failed to build.

      I'm pushing to switch our team from CruiseControl.NET to Bamboo. One of the guys on my team is completely stuck on CCTray. Does Bamboo have an equivalent (ideally in Java or something cross platform) available or scheduled? If not, can you point me to APIs I might be able to use to make my own (if absolutely necessary)?

      Thanks,

      Vince

            [BAM-2800] CCTray for Bamboo?

            Atlassian Update – [16 April 2019]

            Hi everyone,

            Thank you for your interest in this issue.

            While this suggestion has gathered significant interest, we're unable to implement all of the excellent suggestions you make. We don't plan to work on this for the foreseeable future.

            We understand this decision will be disappointing to everyone who voted for this issue. While we believe this suggestion would improve the product, after careful review of the most pressing needs of our customers, we've decided to prioritise other areas of the Bamboo roadmap, including:

            1. Performance and stability improvements
            2. Providing building blocks for High Availability and Disaster Recovery solutions
            3. Improving permission system
            4. Allowing per-project allocation of resources
            5. Improving Bitbucket Server and Jira integrations

            We hope that you appreciate our candid and transparent communication. You can learn more about our approach to highly voted server suggestions here.

            To learn more on how your suggestions are reviewed, see our updated workflow for server feature suggestions.

            Kind regards,
            Bamboo Team

            Thanks for the inquiry, christian.neudert86471175757! It's not open source yet, and I don't have a system set up to collect feature requests in the meantime, sorry! I'm planning release the source, which will also allow using the BitBucket repository to collect feature requests. =) In the meantime, thanks for the idea. I'll try to take a look when I next do some work on the plugin.

            @jbyler, thanks for the cctray plugin!

            Is there a github project or something for it? I like to make a feature request for deployment project support.

            I wrote a Bamboo plugin which adds CCTray support, for ShipIt 34: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.plugins.bamboo.cctray.cctray-bamboo-plugin

            I still think this functionality should be built in to Bamboo, but for now, maybe the plugin can help fill the gap? Customers can install it from the marketplace by using "Manage Plugins" in the Bamboo administration interface, then searching for CCTray.

            CCTray Format is already standard, as there are tens of tools already using it, which gives no option to Atlassian to accept it and include output for it. You cannot expect that tons of other products would implement your own format.

            For me lack of this seems like a good enough reason for not switching to Bamboo from other systems.

            In addition to the already-mentioned options:

            I also found this one:

            • mdub/bamboozled (another ruby proxy, updated in 2014. This one scrapes Bamboo's Wallboard page.)

            I also found a feature request against CCMenu requesting Bamboo support, closed as "Won't Fix" with a suggestion that Atlassian should support cctray format. =)

            I think a lot of users would benefit from built-in support for the cctray format. External proxies are a clunky workaround that should not be necessary.

            Jesse added a comment - In addition to the already-mentioned options: mcannonbrookes/cctray-bamboo (last updated in 2009) amanking/to_cctray (ruby application that acts as a proxy; code updated in 2010 but Wiki has 2015 update. Seems to use bamboo RSS feeds as source.) I also found this one: mdub/bamboozled (another ruby proxy, updated in 2014. This one scrapes Bamboo's Wallboard page.)

            For anyone interested, I found an alternative: https://bambootray.codeplex.com/

            No addon is required on the server. This alternative unfortunately does save your password in plain text, does not support running the builds and is unresponsive for a few seconds at a time but at least it works. Will see if I can add a line or two to polish it up.

            Hmm, apparently the author is none other than mike@atlassian.com, Atlassian founder

            I'd love to see this plugin updated but its very far down the list of our priorities at the moment.

            Good idea! I have done that and will report back with more info, hopefully.
