Hi Fred, thanks for your reply. The builder would simply run C# code and provide a way to output data in HTML format that I would like to display on the Web UI incrementally while the build is running. My plugin already produces those HTML fragments and TeamCity provides a feature to publish so called artifacts from an agent to the server while the build is running so that they can be displayed/downloaded.
Regardless of whether Jenkins supports doing that during the build is there a way to display HTML reports generated by the build on the Web UI? Or are all artifacts assumed to be downloadable stuff and hence simply listed as files? With regard to progress/errors, does Jenkins parse what is printed on the std out/err in any way? For instance TeamCity supports what they call service messages, which are just text formatted in a certain way that the server can interpret and lets you interact with it, for example to report test count, build statistics, explicitly fail or succeed the build, and so on.
