Jenkins API + Maven + Eclipse

[Sverre Moe]

Since I am not familiar with the Jenkins API, I would like to program my Groovy scripts in Eclipse. Having to check the Javadocs every time is quite tedious.

Having to write the groovy in Jenkins (in a simple text area) and test it by starting the build is taking forever.

I was thinking of creating a maven project, but I cannot find any jar for the Jenkins API in the maven repository.

I did find the jenkins repository http://repo.jenkins-ci.org/public, but finding anything useful jenkins api there was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jenking</groupId>
            <artifactId>jenkins-api</artifactId>
            <version>1.599</version>
        </dependency>

Using the Jenkins API in Groovy, I reckon it is the same as making a plugin for Jenkins in Java (Same API)? I could even make my code in Java and use it as is in Groovy.

Looked a little into the following Plugin tutorial. Though found it a bit complex to set up environment for development.

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Plugin+tutorial#Plugintutorial-SettingUpEnvironment

Perhaps I should ask this in Jenkins Developers instead...

I hate to +1 but I'm falling into agreement here. The writing of scripts is largely dependant on api knowledge which most people expect their IDE to auto-complete for them.

Without the Jenkins artefacts in central, this impedes community development.
