The ForceBuildPublisher forces a build on a local or remote build server. It uses .NET Remoting to invoke a forced build on the CruiseControl.NET server at the specified URI.
The forced build runs asynchronously, i.e. the ForceBuildPublisher does not wait for the forced build to finish. The ForceBuildPublisher is a great way to help split the build.
For CruiseControl.NET version 1.0 and later, an alternative to the ForceBuildPublisher is the Project Trigger.
The main difference is that the ForceBuildPublisher is placed in the configuration for the primary project, while the ProjectTrigger is is placed in the configuration for the dependent project.
