Upgrading Plugin to use Credentials

[Gavin]

I was looking through the wiki and archives to find out if I there is already a topic on this but I don't think my search terms are good enough.

I'm taking over maintainership of an existing plugin and want to add credential-plugin support, but don't want to break any existing installs. 

Is there any example code on how to handle upgrades and problematically adding credentials.

I know there's at least one functional that can be overridden to massage data that comes in from the XML file, but I can never remember the name of it.

Thanks,

Gavin

I did find the backwards compatibility page - https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Hint+on+retaining+backward+compatibility

I won't turn down any examples on upgrading to credentials though.

`ssh-plugin` IIRC.

https://github.com/jenkinsci/sauce-ondemand-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/hudson/plugins/sauce_ondemand/PluginImpl.java

I've added a readResolve to that to create credentials like ssh-plugin does. I've noticed SystemCredentialsProvider.getInstance is null at this time. Is there a proper way to delay this from happening? Or a later hook I can attach to?

`ItemListener.onLoaded` perhaps.

I really had not played with the credentials stuff before. This is really a great addition.

Is there a way to setup a parent default credential? (job -> folder -> global)

Right now I'm doing this by hand, but it gets kinda complicated if i want to support folders as well.

There is not currently any support for per-job credentials
(JENKINS-27398), but per-folder credentials are routine. The user may
configure credentials at the system level, a folder (or subfolder…),
or as part of the user account. Standard Credentials plugin APIs will
automatically search in the correct providers, if called with
appropriate arguments.

I'm getting ready to merge and do a release and realized a code review from credentials experts might be a good plan.

Sadly I don't have a clean patch to submit but if someone could take a quick look at https://github.com/jenkinsci/sauce-ondemand-plugin/compare/master...saucelabs:develop that would be great.

Stephen Connolly would be the best person to ask.
