Hi Jenkins guys,
yes, I am interesting in contributing in Jenkins project ideally through GSoC 2012. The Pre-tested commit looks very interesting. Also the code generator for java looks cool. Kohsuke, can you please be more specific what the code generator should do, or give me some direction where it should/could go?
