Hello guys, I had a closer look on the job-dsl plugin and it inspired me. I mean, I don't want to re-write existing jobs or flow using a DSL, but I want to keep the idea of one job used as job generator).
My idea is to retrieve some template configs that I have (i.e. jobs' config.xml) and make one generator instantiate a new job from the config.xml. I'll try to define a code to be able to add parameters to those template config.xml, and also add them a management UI. Finally the last step would be to add a new entry in the "New Project" Dialog.
