As long as it is Good Enough it is usually a matter of finding out how 
to tweak it to do your bidding.  Currently I am working with a new Java 
project outside of SVN with a dependency on the generated snapshot to 
see how it works, and hopefully to write a few tests.  Works for now.

Frankly I just want to know to know when I was (one of the) responsible 
for the build breaking and when it was ok again.

Used to work on a project using CruiseControl for this - worked well.  
At work I have a project in the pipeline with lots of legacy code, so we 
will NEED a CI tool.  I looked at Hudson - it appears to be very nice 
with a good feeling and finish.

Any particular reason for them being so?
