Hehe :)

Hudson is a continuous integration engine which polls your SCM 
(subversion in our case) regularly to find if there are changes and of 
so starts a build. In addition you can get it to notify you when stuff 
breaks and lots of other features.

Maven is "just" another build tool for Java applications.
