No, there is no integration with the *Pipeline Syntax* pages. In principle there could be some system by which a library could include metadata (Groovy annotations?) that could be introspected and generate a RAD-builder-like GUI, but there has been no such effort. > can pipeline shared libraries include and access third-party Java SDKs jars? > Similar to docker SDKs or cloud SDKs for example? Not using existing > plugins but on top of these SDKs directly They _can_, via `@Grab`, but it is not recommended. (See https://github.com/jenkins-infra/jenkins.io/pull/3535 for docs.) In most cases you can get a similar effect from a library by bundling (via `libraryResource`) or otherwise referring to external (`sh` etc.) tools that run like any other build steps in a workspace. > Can pipeline shared libraries create new credentials types or new credential > store providers, I'm dealing with an external password manager which I'm > sync'ing up with jenkins? No, this must be done via a plugin: https://www.jenkins.io/doc/developer/extensions/credentials/#credentialsprovider > Can shared libraries be run as background sync/bridge that runs as a task > over running as a job/build? No, code runs the same way as any other Pipeline script, within the context of a build. > Can shared libraries add items/jelly files to snippet generator area? See above. > Can shared libraries add global variables read from REST APIs to be available > to FreeStyle jobs? No, libraries are very specific to Pipeline. > Can shared libraries hook into pre/post job hooks? (like publisher, notifier, > triggers) Publishers and notifiers exist only for traditional job types. Pipeline jobs have undifferentiated “steps” which can be run at any time. Triggers must be implemented in plugins: https://www.jenkins.io/doc/developer/extensions/jenkins-core/#trigger -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
