[jbosstools-dev] Please take care of CI job for your component!

[Alexey Kazakov]

To be honest, I ignore Jenkins emails. My experience shows me that 95% 
of these problems are problems of hudson build(s)/environment/... or 
problems which I'm already aware of.
Instead of rely on the hudson builds I regularly run tycho build 
locally. It safes our time. So instead of investigating what is going on 
with hudson builds every time I got Jenkis email we (CDI/Seam/JSF team) 
can spend time on development running local tycho build every other day 
to make sure everything is ok on our side.
We mentioned these problems in JIRA and in emails but the hudson builds 
is still unstable.
