It seems to boil down to: "When it blows up, and it will blow up, it blows up big" I haven't had it blow up yet...
Having jenkins automatically recognize upstream/downstream jobs is huge. Seeing a job fail quickly because 5 hops up someone changed something is a big timesaver. The only issue we had is when you have multiple jobs building the same project (regular polling build + nightly sonar build), and jenkins picks the "wrong" job as upstream/downstream.(hint: enable logging for hudson.maven.MavenModule , and make sure your sonar job doesn't deploy) On Thu, Sep 11, 2014 at 9:52 AM, Nigel Magnay <[email protected]> wrote: > Would it be possible to create a 'jenkins maven plugin' that gives the > benefits of the maven job type, but with fewer of the disadvantages you > describe ? > > I.E: I'd be prepared to modify my builds to include a special CI plugin > (perhaps in a profile).
