Jenkins is an open source continuous integration tool written in Java. The project was forked from Hudson after a dispute with Oracle, which claims the right to trademark the Hudson name and has applied for such a trademark as of December 2010.
意
思就是,Jenkins的前身是Hudson(Sun開發),2010年從Hudson分支出來。由于Sun被Oracle收購,後者聲稱擁有
Hudson的商标所有權,前者被迫這樣做的。分支出來的Jenkins将繼續走open
source道路,而Hudson可能會用于商業用途,二者都在繼續開發中。
