Hi,

I am trying to create a builder plugin, which will basically work like the 
following:

  1.) Collect a few properties from the environment, the workspace, and 
possibly some other sources (In the end, there should be a minimal UI, but 
that's for the future.)
  2.) Create a very simple Ant script, which defines some properties, and 
invokes a more complex Ant script, which is located elsewhere.
       (That scripts location is one of the above properties.) The more 
complex Ant scripts purpose is to create a deliverable.

Now, I have a couple of beginners questions:

  a) I will require some temporary directory, or the like, in which to 
operate. Asssuming, that my workspace is checked out from Git, or 
Subversion, I want that directory to be located outside of the checked out 
tree. Can I ask Jenkins for a suitable location?
      How?
  b) To build my plugin, I can of course specify ant.jar as a Maven 
dependency. However, it seems to me that this is inappropriate within 
Jenkins. I'd expect, that there is some possibility to express something 
like "I want the Jenkins Ant plugin as a dependency on my class path", so 
that Ant is present, and usable. True, or false?

Thanks in advance,

Jochen
