I currently use maven to build, run unit tests and deploy my Java/Spring website locally. I then run selenium functional tests and run through a whole long script to deploy to production and make schema changes. I now want to automate everything so I can only hit a button and, as long as all tests pass, the production environment gets updated.

So it seems I can do all this in maven through plugins or at least with the ant plugin. But there are many continuous integration servers开发者_运维知识库 available... I hear a lot about Hudson. Hudson manual states, "One of the main uses cases for Hudson is building projects with Apache Maven." Is Hudson the best choice for what I need? Is there a better solution? I understand Jenkins was forked from Hudson, is it a better route?

I don't mind paying for a tool or server aiding in continuous deployment.

I would go with Jenkins. It is under active development, has tons of plugins and it's quite easily configurable. You might also want to check Bamboo, especially if you would like it to work with Jira, Confluence, Fisheye, etc.
