Expose a new plugin via job DSL

[GCA]

Hi DSL users,

We have a jenkins plugin developed and been in use for few months now. The plugin introduces a new job type. 

I have looked around to include our new job type in DSL and found https://github.com/jenkinsci/job-dsl-plugin/wiki/Extending-the-DSL 

Would this work for a new job type  ?  Has anyone tried this before ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi GCA,

 It should work, afaik the Ansible plugin used that extension feature sometime ago, see the below commit 

  - https://github.com/jenkinsci/ansible-plugin/commit/3432387a522e311e7d0a1a1ce7a92d4d91c5043a

I hope it helps

Cheers

Currently it's not possible to add a new job type through an extension point. There is already a JIRA issue for this: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-31912

But you can use a configure block to change the root element to match the new job type. There is an example in the wiki: https://github.com/jenkinsci/job-dsl-plugin/wiki/The-Configure-Block#configure-matrix-job

Thanks Daniel and Victor, I will try with configure block.
