I don't really know the full extent of what you are trying to achieve, but I wouldn't get down the road of writing a new kind of project 'just' for this.
If it is about swapping some icons depending on an custom criteria, I'd take a look at https://github.com/jenkinsci/greenballs-plugin and build something similar (the interesting bits are in https://github.com/jenkinsci/greenballs-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/hudson/plugins/greenballs/GreenBallFilter.java ) Vincent 2016-01-07 11:52 GMT+01:00 PaulD <[email protected]>: > I'm trying to write my first plugin, so apologies for the probably very > obvious questions. > > I'm trying to extend FreeStyleProject so that I can override the > 'getIconColor' method with some custom functionality (currently just sets > it > to 'Not built' for testing but will be doing more later).
