I would highly advocate using an open source package.  I haven't tried 
Cruise Control, but I like Hudson way way more than continuum.  It seems 
to have a nice ( or at least usable ) plugin architecture as it has all 
sorts of stuff like parsing findbugs results and firing build results to 
Twitter and whatnot.  It seems very polished and active.

When I was at PyCon 2009 even a number of folks there said you might as 
well use Hudson rather than one of the Python based ones, which says a lot.

Continuously built cheers,
