Is it the same as jHexen?

Hi sorry for such a basic question. There are so many ports and engines now I'm a bit confused.
I've downloaded jHexen with jDoom 1.8.6 which uses doomsday.
Is this project a continuation of that?

Yes, Doomsday is a continuation of jHexen.

The work began initially with Hexen only (called jHexen), with support for Heretic and Doom added later. Eventually the separate ports were combined into one, and Doomsday Engine became the name covering all three.

jHexen, jHeretic, and jDoom are now plugins inside Doomsday.
