What is the best IDE for developing and debuging jenkins plugin?

[Stephen Connolly]

There are really only three IDEs for Java: Eclipse, IntelliJ and NetBeans

For developing and debugging Jenkins, in my experience, keep as far away from Eclipse as possible... but that is just my experience.

I have also heard of a lot of problems, but some people do it anyway.

Dedicated plugins exist for Jenkins plugin development in both IDEA
and NetBeans. I maintain the NetBeans integration. File » New Project
offers a new Jenkins plugin as an option, or File » Open Project and
navigate to the root directory of an existing one; when open, Debug »
Debug Project to launch `hpi:run` with the JPDA debugger connected,
etc.

Hi, I've been using this to relative success:

• IntelliJ Community 2017.3.5
• IntelliJ Stapler plugin 1.8
  
• Maven 3.3.9
  
• JDK 1.8.0_112

There's no option in IntelliJ to create a new Jenkins plugin project. And I can't navigate from the Jelly resources to the linked Java code. So it's limited.

I just looked at the Netbeans plugin and thought it looked nice, but found it's meant for 8.2, which is no longer supported. It would be good to know if this plugin is still fit for purpose.

I only get into Jenkins plugin development every now and then. It would be great to get an updated recommendation of dev environment config from people who do Jenkins development more frequently.

eclipse is generally ok - but sometimes it doesn't run the annotation processor so Extensions don't get the correct information generated and then they don't show up when debugging...

dropping to the command line to run mvn clean package -DskipTests  works for me.

I've had issues with IntelliJ - there is no great IDE only ones that suck less than others in some areas..  sometimes I just use the cli and vim because it sucks less.  pick your poison

Had anybody tried using Visual Code?  Although some say it’s not complete IDE - it would be interesting to know if Visual Code has any advantages over Eclipse or IntelliJ for Jenkins developers.

Thx, Vlad

I love vscode (mostly for remote ssh support) until you need to do the imports. Then its really random if it'll work or not

But i use that and vim for everything but java, and ideaj still a lot for java

Yes, it should work on any version of NetBeans.

[Denys Digtiar]

For IntelliJ users. I've been doing some facelift of the plugin. It is now located at https://github.com/jenkinsci/idea-stapler-plugin There are a few new releases but they are not published to the JetBrains Marketplace due to lack of permissions. No new features really but should have better compatibility with current versions of IDEA. 

There is a Pipeline for this plugin now - https://ci.jenkins.io/job/Plugins/job/idea-stapler-plugin/job/master/. It runs a plugin verifier which says that some deprecated APIs that the plugin uses are going to be removed in the IDEA 2021.3. I'll try to find time to update those.

[Ullrich Hafner]

That sounds wonderful! I am using the 2021.2 EAP and always get some exceptions with the Stapler plugin now. 

What kind of permissions do you need? Is this something we can do? Or on the JetBrains side?

Only the owner of the plugin can publish it. The plugins can be owned by organizations now. The Jenkins org was created https://plugins.jetbrains.com/organizations/jenkins. Now Kohsuke needs to transfer the plugin to the org. Once done anybody in the org can publish the plugin. 

Even better would be to come up with some CD pipeline.

Hey, thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I looked around the JetBrains UI a little but I couldn't find a way to transfer a plugin. Does anyone know how to transfer it?

[Tim Jacomb]

These appear to be the docs if you hadn’t seen them 

https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/marketplace/organizations.html#plugin-transfer

[Kohsuke Kawaguchi]

Thanks. Interesting workflow they developed!

I think I successfully transferred the plugin: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/organizations/jenkins

Thanks for the tip, and my apologies for whatever frustration this delay might have caused.
