Hudson is a continuous integration (CI) tool written in Java, which runs in a servlet container, such as Apache Tomcat or the GlassFish application server. It supports SCM tools including CVS, Subversion, Git and Clearcase and can execute Apache Ant and Apache Maven based projects, as well as arbitrary shell scripts and Windows batch commands.
This project has recently graduated as an Eclipse technology project. The main project summary information page can be found here.
The Hudson Wiki is being slowly transitioned to its new home under Eclipse at wiki.eclipse.org/hudson-ci. You'll be able to follow the progress of the migration on the Migration to Eclipse section of the wiki homepage.
