hudson: an extensible continuous integration engine

This is thing is awesome! Such a welcome relief for us long time cruisecontrol users. It was relatively easy to setup, after the initial gotcha's for the SVN and findbugs settings, everything was smoothly running, like butter over hot pandesal.

Hudson... we don't have a problem..

Neil’s point-free blog � Blog Archive � What is OSGi for??

By far the best explanation on the lazy web of what OSGi is. :)

There are a variety of usage scenarios I can think right out of the bat. Wether its a fat client or a beer-belly server, who would not love upgrading your JAR dependent lifestyle with SOA concept based OSGi goodness?

Hmmmmmmnnnnn....
