The previous group got a new CM at one point, who chose Luntbuild, and it
seems to have similar capabilities and the quality of being Java-centric,
too. He did not set it up to do continuous integration, but instead a
push-button build.  Before he was added, we chose Cruisecontrol, mostly
because there was just 4 developers who needed to try to bring order out of
chaos and I had seen the author of Pragmatic Project Automation give a talk
at DJUG. ;) Cruisecontrol is used throughout the book. We also briefly took
a look at AntHill, but since it seemed to have a commercial version, too, we
avoided it. Now I'm with a different group, so I set up CC again for the
projects I'm on, and I'm trying to find a server to put it on...

CC is definitely Java-centric, but I don't know that it would preclude
building C/C++:

Martin Fowler talks about continuous integration here:

Were you looking for something like that?
