Hints for Jenkins Plugin Development

[konrad]

I'm about to develop a plugin for Jenkins which should post some build artifacts of some builds of some jobs to an external service.

More specifically:

• on a per-project basis, configure one or more files to be deployable/releasable and add some file specific properties that influence the HTTP post triggered later by the user
• in the build details view (e.g. build #12), display a 'release file x', 'release file y' button for every configured file (similar location on the UI side like the 'keep this build forever' button)
• then post this file to the service

Maybe someone who knows the plugin API a bit more than me can give me a hint on which extension points I'll need. Right know I am looking into the BuildWrapper for the per-job configuration and I think I'll need a customer Action which I register to the build details view, but I am not sure how to do that. I don't think I can use the ArtifactManager because it looks like this one automatically iterates over all archived files as a build step.

Thanks you :-)

Maybe worth to take a look at this: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Publish+Over

Okay thanks so far @Dominik.

I am playing around with the JobProperty Extension point because I can easily add my own Action when I override the `getJobActions` method.

Just to clarify, this changes - as expected - this view:

I would like to have another action displayed in the details view of a specific build:

As the appropriate hudson model seems to be Run, I'd expect to find a RunProperty extension point or something along that name, but I couldn't find it. So the only way that comes to my mind is to register a RunListener and call run.addAction(...). Is that the right way or am I off track?

If you have a JobProperty on the job, you can implement perform(…)[1] and add your action to the build[2].
