Hi, I'm new to jenkins and new to writing plugins.

I'm trying to write and IdleTrigger that triggers a build when Jenkins has 
been idle.
(its a complex use case, but essentially I want wait for everything to be 
quiet before doing something.)
An IdleTrigger may not be the best way to solve this problem, but I want to 
learn a little
more about Jenkins internals anyway.

I think there are (at least) two approaches:
  1) Simply get all the Computers and call getIdleStartMilliseconds() to 
make sure they have
     all be idle.

  2) Add a RunListener and possibly other Listeners to find out when jobs 
start/stop.
     When no jobs are running, start the idle timer.  When a job starts, 
kill the timer.
     
Conceptually, is one approach better than the other?  Or is there a better 
way?

Thanks.
