Hi Martin,
Great to hear that you're working on this plugin. I'm it's maintainer, so I
will try to help where I can. If you consider a long-term project ("if you
graduate on the next year"), maybe you would be interested to make a
proposal for Google Summer Of Code
<https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Google+Summer+Of+Code+2016>. I
think we can find mentors for this project
Regarding your question...
Actually, "ToolInstallation
<http://javadoc.jenkins-ci.org/hudson/tools/ToolInstallation.html>" and "
ToolInstaller
<http://javadoc.jenkins-ci.org/?hudson/tools/ToolInstaller.html>" are
different entities in Jenkins. Custom Tools Plugin provides the
ToolInstallation implementation, but it uses standard ToolInstallers being
provided by other Jenkins plugins.
If you want to add a 7zip ToolInstaller, I think Extra Tool Installers
Plugin
<https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Extra+Tool+Installers+Plugin>
is the best destination for such feature. You can find examples of
extension point implementations there.
Best regards,
Oleg Nenashev
