Before talk about Composer, some words about build.xml. Actually we are
moving from Phing to Ant for some reasons:
- Ant makes projects more pluggable for IDEs, CI Servers... (less shell)
- Ant is recommended in http://jenkins-php.org
- Ant is faster than Phing
- Ant parallel task is stable, Phing task is not
What do you think about this?
Getting back to Composer plugin... We are planning two kinds of job for
every project:
- build-job: for every project development line (trunk, branches...).
This job executes quality checks as described in http://jenkins-php.org It
also generates tags;
- deploy-job: one per project, it sends files of a package version to
the web servers.
For build-job, Composer is necessary to get dependencies before to run
Ant/Phing build.xml (http://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#install and
http://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#update). Here is the reason of "Invoke
Composer".
Note: every project is plugged in a private repository (
https://github.com/composer/satis and https://github.com/composer/packagist).
So it's possible get projects from there by "require/require-dev" entry in
a composer.json file or "create-project" command (
http://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#create-project).
For deploy-job, users must pick up a version to deploy. We need use "List
Composer Package Versions" (http://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#show) to
send version value as argument to create-project command using "Invoke
Composer" before send it to the servers.
In short I am willing to run Composer *before* Ant/Phing scripts in
build-job, and *before* send files to the servers in deploy-job.
If possible, I would like to know more about your migration project and how
you are planning this.

It's my first contact with Jenkins CI Community. I don't know how plugins
life cycle works neither how mature the idea must be to start coding. We
have a laboratory sector to try some contexts as well. I have some Java
skilled guys in my DevOps team, we can help when possible.
Ready to go! Just waiting your signal to start.
Some links to take a look:

Thanks!
