Great, thanks for trying it out.

It seems you have an old version of the plugin, I can be sure of that
because I removed the method getRevno :)

I'm still trying to build the .hpi with the version number included,
no luck yet.
In the meantime, to avoid this, I'll create directories for each build
like: http://verterok.com.ar/bzr-hudson/20081026

I uploaded a new build, to that url. With this version the polling should work.

Nice tutorial! ;-)
Can I use this as an base for a tutorial/example at the wiki?
