Are the Collab.net Hudson reports visible somewhere?

Clover and Cobertura can only be used for Java code, so that limits
their usefulness to JavaHL.

In general, Buildbot can run any code analysis or coverage tool that
exists, as long as it can output a report that can be sent back to the
server.
The lack of specific plugins might lead to lower quaility reports though.

It's not clear to me what you mean by this. Are you referring to the
Collab.net certified builds?

Well, I don't know Hudson well enough to see the added value of Hudson
over Buildbot, but if you're willing to do the work with ASF infra I
don't see a reason not to try it.
