Groovy Postbuild Plugin: Access Jenkins and not Hudson instance

[Sverre Moe]

The Groovy Postbuild plugin exposes some predefined variables like.

• hudson - the current Hudson instance (javadoc).

I have checked the Javadoc and it looks like much of hudson instance is deprecated.

getInstance()

Deprecated. 

Here only for compatibility. Use Jenkins.getInstance() instead.

Perhaps this plugin should be updated to expose instead:

• jenkins - the current Jenkins instance (javadoc).

In the mean time till this is updated/fixed in the plugin how do I get the jenkins instance myself?

It's the same instance.

Its a little confusing reading the API. What to use between jenkins.model or hudson.model

The link points to hudson.model.Hudson, not jenkins.model.Jenkins

http://javadoc.jenkins-ci.org/?hudson/model/Hudson.html

Though I do see that Hudson extends Jenkins.

Jenkins used to be called Hudson until early 2011. Renaming packages breaks plugins relying on old names, so in general, any class predating 2011 will be in hudson.*, while everything newer is generally in jenkins.*.

Script:
Hudson.instance == Jenkins.instance

Result: true

So it really doesn't make a difference. Like the package name 'hudson.model', Groovy Postscript predates the rename/fork to Jenkins and therefore uses the older name.
