Hey there,

I was looking for a plugin that could invoke an AWS Step Function as a build step, and couldn't find one, so I wrote one:

https://github.com/signal/aws-stepfunctions-plugin

This is my first attempt at authoring a Jenkins plugin, so it's pretty crude, but it's working for us, and hopefully will help others. Contributions welcome!

Thanks,
Tony

Tony,

Looks interesting. From a first glance, I'd recommend you rely on the AWS Credentials Plugin (https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/CloudBees+AWS+Credentials+Plugin), thus avoiding the need to store credentials at all (trust me: last time I did this the -users mailing list ended up receiving complaint from furious users - in .doc files)

I would also recommend you explictly declare a dependency not on the AWS Java SDK, but on the AWS Java SDK Plugin for Jenkins, thus making your life easier. Also, you can perhaps borrow some of these tricks from my AWSEB Deployment Plugin (https://github.com/ingenieux/awseb-deployment-plugin/)

Hope it helps.
