Migrating the Jenkins plugin archetype to Workflow

[Rafael Ribeiro Rezende]

We wish every plugin to be compatible with Workflow, right? (at least those plugins that make sense to be there)...

So, wouldn't be a good idea to have the Jenkins archetype also ready to use with Workflow?

[Daniel Beck]

In what way would you change it? Have HelloWorldBuilder implement SimpleBuildStep?

Yes. The migration is very simple, but might save beginners the trouble of doing so in a later stage, since they are compelled to override the more generic perform(...) which works for both freestyle and workflow.
Just an idea.

Good idea, thanks!

I've noticed this change is available for maven-hpi-plugin 1.114, but if I don't specify the plugin version maven will automatically use 1.114-cloudbees-1 instead, which does not implement the SimpleBuildStep. Is there any reason for not implementing it?
Just wanted to know about possible risks... If you say there is some, I'll recommend people in our company to specify the version then.

Oh, just noticed that the 1.114-cloudbees-1 was released before the update. So, I'll specify the version...

Still, let's be aware that running the maven-hpi-plugin as described in the Plugin tutorial (as newcomers would do as they follow it) won't bring the workflow-compatible version of the Hello World yet.
