Merge two plugins functionality

[Ahasan Habib]

Hi,

In a scenario I need to call a jenkins plugin and based on the return of that plugin, I need to update some status using another plugin . I am giving some idea bellow:

My custom plugin{

do some work()

result =call another plugin()

do rest of the task() and update status based on "result";

 }

Does jenkins provide any interface to communicate/ call plugins. What might be the better approach on that. Thanks you all for time. I highly appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Hello Ahsan, 

You could create a new plugin with dependencies on the two plugins and do the orchestration in that plugin .

Your question feels a little vague to give you an exact answer.

Hi Surya,

Thanks for your reply. More specific: I need to run gradle job. I have a custom plugin which run maven command on project and do others functionality.

Now I want to add gradle build with maven. Jenkins provide a great plugin called gradle-plugin to serve this purpose. I want to use that one. So how can I use gradle plugin functionality in my custom plugin. My intention is that a user will able to do everything what they can do in gradle-plugin plus the functionality of my existing custom plugin.

How can I add dependency to my plugin? In my case I need to call gradle-plugin to execute command in the middle of my plugin execution. Thanks again for your time.

Also I can not add dependency of gradle-plugin as it is in SNAPSHOT. I did not find any repository to pointing it.
