Hi,
I'm working on a project to extend Jenkins' functionalities
to serve certain goals, but before I start writing plugins from scratch I
will of course look for these functionalities in existing plugins.
Seeing
as Jenkins seems to have more than a thousand available plugins, even
narrowing my search to the fields I'm interested in leaves me (at first
glance) with well over a hundred of them.
The first thing I'm curious about is the Jenkins build/compile/run output. I've built a sample project using Ant and Jenkins, and as far as I understand it, the console output is pretty basic (compiler messages like in Eclipse and similar IDEs, console output on run, etc.).
Are there any plugins that enrich the output of the build with additional information? I'm thinking of additional information on why the build errors occurred, maybe looking for similarities between the current build's failure and failures in the past, etc.
Thx in advance
