The IT industry loves a good "Holy War". One of the latest has been the highly visible and at times down right nasty forking of the Hudson Continuous Integration server into the Jenkins Continuous Integration Server. More recently Oracle has announced an intention to release Hudson to the Eclipse Foundation, raising some interesting questions about whether all of this could have been avoided in the first place.
With the situation changing so rapidly, how does a development team, or company make the right choice? After following the evolution of both of these servers, I can safely say that it doesn't matter.
