Apache Hudson Continuous Build

This week I have had intensive touch with Hudson. I need to setup a new environment for development. It is a continuous build application, from the open source free software (OSFS) stack.

Hudson could run on any JEE application servers, such as Tomcat or Jetty. The project is now under Apache Software Foundation. The license is Apache License v 2.0.  

In our enviroment we use Subversion, and Hudson integrate well with Subversion. It polls for changes in Subversion, and  build on changes so that we could know which commit breaks the build. Hudson could run Ant build project but support Maven 2 build as well. To configure Hudson to use Maven 2 build, you only need to specify the pom.xml file.
