I've inherited an existing Grails Maven app and have been tasked with looking into automating the build and deployment of it.
It currently uses grails 1.3.7 but will be upgraded to 2.1 soon.
So 1: Is there a way to allow someone log into jenkins and click a button that will automatically create a build?
2: Is there then a follow up task I could use to allow the user deploy the build to a server I have specified beforehand?
Any links to usefull/relevant articles would be great.....I'm fairly new to both grails and jenkins.

1 + 2) Yes. This is pretty much exactly what a Jenkins job does.
Take a look at Continuous Integration with Grails for a quick start, or the Jenkins Wiki for a slightly less quick start.
