Comments on: Meet Jenkins, he’ll do your boring jobs. When Oracle bought Sun they started putting in some claims over things like the Hudson trademark even though the actual project is open-source/free-software. In response the main developers of Hudson forked it and re-branded it Jenkins. From my reading of it, Jenkins is still being developed by the people who did most of the work on Hudson. So as I was starting with a new install I went with Jenkins, however, I'm not sure whether there is much difference between the two, at the moment.

Does anyone know of any good reasons or arguments as to why a project might <em>not</em> want to use some kind of CI server? I know that many places "just haven't gotten around to it yet," but I don't know of any place that actively thinks that CI would be a bad idea for their project. Incidentally…

I haven't even had to learn how to write a plugin yet because either the feature already exists or someone else already wrote a plugin.

It does not only do the build and release on several platforms, it also collects statistics about compiler warnings, static code analysis, TODO/FIXME statements in code, unit test, code coverage, etc. To get some of those things working for C++ projects can get a bit tricky, but its worth the effort!
