Jenkins Vs Hudson

Jenkins vs Hudson Comparison Table

There is no such difference between Hudson and Jenkins. Jenkins is actually the renamed version of Hudson.

After disagreements between Oracle and Hudson creators, the latter decided that Hudson was to be forked and Jenkins CI. Jenkins is the continuation of the Hudson open-source project, under the original creator and towards an open-source future; Hudson is now under the Oracle's wing with more structure around it.

The following are the primary comparisons between Jenkins and Hudson:

Hudson is a CI (Continuous Integration) server for Java development. The development of this platform started with Hudson while Jenkins was forked from Hudson when Sun was acquired by Oracle who aimed to develop a commercial version of the software. Since the fork, Jenkins has grown to be much more than a CI solution.

Jenkins and Hudson both run inside servlet containers on Java application servers, allowing for easy integration into your existing workflow. They both are a key part of our Java development process. We make use of both servers and are gradually moving across all our instances to Jenkins.

Jenkins

Jenkins is the most popular open-source automation server that was written in a java programming language. It facilitates the automation process of continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) in the software development process.

Jenkins supports over 1,400 plugins for other software tools. These plugins expand Jenkins into five years; platforms, UI, administration, source code management, and build management.

Jenkins is easy to install and use. It provides an impressive browser-hosted project management dashboard.

Some of the common reasons to evaluate and choose Jenkins are:

  • Open-source and free
  • Widely used and well documented
  • Vibrant user community
  • Integration with a large variety of tools and technologies.
  • Plugin support
  • Easy to install, configure and upgrade
  • Distributed builds
  • Monitoring external jobs
  • Support for various authentication methods, notification, version control system, etc.

Hudson

Hudson is a CI (continuous integration) tool which is written in Java, which runs in a servlet container such as Glassfish or Apache Tomcat application server. It supports SCM tools such as Git, CVS, Perforce, ClearCase and RTC and can execute Apache Maven and Apache Ant-based projects, as well as arbitrary shell scripts and Windows batch commands.

There are following features of Hudson:

  • Hudson is open-source and free.
  • Ease of installation and use

You can easily write plugins to support tools/processes in your team. And after you give, they can be used by others as well.

  • Distributed build support
  • Inter team support
  • Extensive control outside Hudson and this is possible because of programmable control interface
  • Hudson is used in providing easily readable URLs for most of the pages such as "last successful build" and "promoted build".
  • Localization is available in French, English, Germany, Japanese, Russian, Turkish, and Brazilian. Even you can easily create your own localization bundle.
  • Hudson builds on general-purpose building blocks.
