Paul Hoadley 98.1 1 [[Hudson>>http://hudson-ci.org/]] is an "extensible continuous integration server". It monitors repeated executions of jobs, such as building software projects, and can be used to build WebObjects applications and frameworks. Hudson is an open source project, and can be used at no cost. An introductory presentation on building WebObjects projects with Hudson was given by Mike Schrag at WOWODC-West in 2009, and the video can be [[purchased from wocommunity.org>>http://www.wocommunity.org/apps/WebObjects/WOCommunity.woa/wa/recordings]].
