Hi,

Following the switch to Java 7+, many users have problem with the 
Maven-style jobs: they are forbidden to execute them with a version of Java 
inferior to 7.
See for example https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-28294.

The common solution proposed by people is to switch to Freestyle project: 
there is more configuration to do, but the behaviour of the build will be 
more deterministic (see 
http://javaadventure.blogspot.de/2013/11/jenkins-maven-job-type-considered-evil.html
 
for example for more explanation of why anyway maven-style jobs apparently 
sucks).

So, my question now is: how do I properly switch to a freestyle project?

In particular, my main concern is with dependencies and build triggering:
 - I want to be able to see the tree of builds like this: 
http://jenkins.petalslink.com/job/Petals%20Components%20-%20BC%20SOAP/265/
 - I want to see upstream and downstream projects like this: 
http://jenkins.petalslink.com/job/Petals%20Components%20-%20BC%20SOAP/
 - I want my jobs to be triggered when one of its dependencies was built 
(and not by checking every hours if a dependency has changed as one of the 
jenkins plugins do).

Anybody has good suggestion to either do that, or to convince me I don't 
need it?

Thank you :)

Victor
