The result of Plastic SCM integration with CruiseControl is a complete solution for companies who are using the Continuous Integration pattern for their build and release automation process.

Plastic SCM fully integrates with Cruise Control and Cruise Control .NET, joining together the power of Plastic SCM with the advantages of continuous integration. Once configured, Cruise Control will monitor for changes on Plastic repository and trigger builds on the latest detected changes. Email notifications and web reports on the builds are provided, so that continuous integration is highly automated.

You can find information on how to configure Platic SCM with CruiseControl at the cruise control website or in Plastic SCM user´s guide. For more details about continuous integration, you can have a look at "Continuous Integration" by Martin Fowler and Matthew Foemmel.
