73. Publishers which publish data to your CI server's front-end

74. Adding your project < project name = &quot;projectname.nl&quot; buildafterfailed = &quot;false&quot; > < plugin name = &quot;svn&quot; classname = &quot;net.sourceforge.cruisecontrol.sourcecontrols.SVN&quot; /> < modificationset quietperiod = &quot;60&quot; > < svn localWorkingCopy = &quot;projects/${project.name}/source/&quot; /> </ modificationset > < schedule interval = &quot;120&quot; > < ant anthome = &quot;apache-ant-1.7.0&quot; buildfile = &quot;projects/${project.name}/build.xml&quot; /> </ schedule > < listeners > < currentbuildstatuslistener file = &quot;logs/${project.name}/status.txt&quot; /> </ listeners > < log dir = &quot;logs/${project.name}&quot; > < merge dir = &quot;projects/${project.name}/build/logs/&quot; /> </ log >

75. Adding your project < publishers > < artifactspublisher dir = &quot;projects/${project.name}/build/api&quot; dest = &quot;artifacts/${project.name}&quot; subdirectory = &quot;api$ < artifactspublisher dir = &quot;projects/${project.name}/build/coverage&quot; dest = &quot;artifacts/${project.name}&quot; subdirectory $ < execute command = &quot;phpuc graph logs/${project.name} artifacts/${project.name}&quot; /> < execute command = &quot;phpcb -- log projects /${ project.name }/ build / logs -- source projects /${ project.name }/ source -- ou $ < artifactspublisher dir = &quot;projects/${project.name}/build/php-code-browser&quot; dest = &quot;artifacts/${project.name}&quot; subd $ </ publishers > </ project >
