Since I am not familiar with the Jenkins API, I would like to program my Groovy scripts in Eclipse. Having to check the Javadocs every time is quite tedious. Having to write the groovy in Jenkins (in a simple text area) and test it by starting the build is taking forever.
I was thinking of creating a maven project, but I cannot find any jar for the Jenkins API in the maven repository. I did find the jenkins repository http://repo.jenkins-ci.org/public, but finding anything useful jenkins api there was like looking for a needle in a haystack. <dependency> <groupId>org.jenking</groupId> <artifactId>jenkins-api</artifactId> <version>1.599</version> </dependency> Using the Jenkins API in Groovy, I reckon it is the same as making a plugin for Jenkins in Java (Same API)? I could even make my code in Java and use it as is in Groovy. Looked a little into the following Plugin tutorial. Though found it a bit complex to set up environment for development. https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Plugin+tutorial#Plugintutorial-SettingUpEnvironment Perhaps I should ask this in Jenkins Developers instead... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
