Jenkins is an open source continuous integration server

Jenkins CI, formerly known as "Hudson Labs", is an open source continuous integration tool forked from Hudson after a dispute with Oracle.

It's written in Java and integrates with different SCM and build automation tools like Apache Ant and Apache Maven. The way builds are triggered depends on the needs of the parts involved on the development process. It could be based on version control, schedule, build dependency on other builds finished or by URL request.

Jenkins builds are not restricted to Java language, and several plugins were released to support more programming languages.
