Apache Continuum

Apache Continuum is an application that targets advanced software projects where the lead developer(s) need a tool to help them stay in command during the development and build process.

If you're developing jQuery plugins and one-page sites then you can stick to GitHub or any other type of local or Web-based version control system you're already using.

But if you're in the business of developing applications of hundreds of thousand lines of code or software where tens of people have to write, submit and approve their code, then something more complex is needed.

Apache Continuum provides these tools in one application, tools that lets them review code, set build requirements and build steps, and manage the project from its initial steps to the final stages.
