Thank you Larry for your help. Writing a tool installer should be simple, 
but I can't find some basic guidance. This link  - 
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Adding+tool+auto-installer  - 
has many holes in how to develop, run and test an installer locally. Is 
there an reliable source that explains that? I'd prefer buying a book to 
wasting time exploring various  tools installers on github.
