Run the ReadyAPI project using maven with help of jenkins.
I have already created a regression suite in readyAPI as xml format.
Created a java maven project using pom.xml
jenkins job has been created to run the ReadyAPI suite directly but want to run using the java project which include pom.xml
Run the ReadyAPI project using maven with help of jenkins.
Need to provide some videos in which i can solve the issue which i am currently facing.
I think you need to split this question into two concerns:
How do you call Maven from Jenkins?
And once you've got that, you need to think about...
How do I run a SoapUI/ReadyAPI project from Maven?
The first question is addressed here:

The second question is addressed here:
https://support.smartbear.com/readyapi/docs/integrations/maven/example.html
If you have already covered the basics here, and got some specific problem, you need to provide more information to your specific situation.

We currently have Jenkins jobs to build the infrastructure for our suite of products. This job invokes ant to package various jar files under our build directory.
i.e.
build
lib
common.jar
ldap.jar
filesplit.jar
rmiservice.jar
.
.
.
My question is what is the best way to implement this so that we can deploy the built jar files to Nexus in bulk? Or is the best/only way to do this is to have a pom.xml file with each artifact specified with a build.gradle or Jenkins pipeline?
Thoughts? Best approach? Any help would be appreciated :) Thanks
Their is apparently an official plugin to deploy to nexus from an ant task.

Once your deployment works from command line, automate it with Jenkins. Don't try to multi task you would loose time.
If you consider that deploying to nexus could be an excuse to migrate to a modern build system and replace Ant, go for Gradle
Agree w/ #jf-meier; migrate to maven. It has many benefits, though it can be a heavy lift.
Nevertheless, aether-ant works well and acts as a good transition phase as well. Documented to work with Nexus.
We've used it extensively to help teams for years. It uses the same engine that is within maven itself.
I am new to gradle. I am looking forward to migrating from maven to gradle.
I had few requirements:
Existing project is maven based, and is generating a fat jar/uber jar. I am planning to split this into multiple projects, and creating smaller/thinner jars/libraries
I am currently evaluating the Multi-project Build support.
I have to also edit the Java source code, automatically, like making the java source modifications based on certain conditions
Publish the project as maven based, as other projects which need these split-up jars are still maven based.
I suppose Maven plugin can be used for publishing?
Would Gradle be a good, scalable solution for these two requirements which I am looking into currently?
Also please provide some pointers around these two topics.
Gradle has very good multi-project support, far better than Maven's. You can start with this documentation section
You can setup compilation of generated/auto-edited sources as well. Take a look at this forum post, discussing compilation of sources created from database using hbm2dao
You can setup publishing of projects using the Maven plugin. pom.xml files will be generated automatically
I have a ant build.xml file , how can i directly create a maven pom.xml which is exactly equivalent of build.xml file ? I know that I can create a maven project and move the folder of build.xml to appropriate folder of maven directories, But is there any automated way of doing this ?
ANT and MAVEN are different so there is probably no such complete automation really.
Still there are some attempts to automate it (see: https://github.com/ewhauser/ant2maven/blob/master/ant2maven.groovy and its forked repositories).
Another approach may be to create a pom.xml file and use https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-antrun-plugin/ to include the ANT script in it.
The simple answer is no. There is no easy way to generate a POM.
In my opinion switching to Maven is best left to new projects with little or no legacy to defend. In short Maven is a highly opinionated build tool that follows a standardized build workflow. ANT, on the other, ANT is gloriously configurable... resulting in no two builds working the same way :-)
A secondary problem is that few ANT builds properly record the origin and version of their 3rd party dependencies...
In most cases you are better off keeping the existing ANT build logic and introduce dependency managment using a plugin like Apache ivy. This allows an ANT project to properly integrate with a Maven repository infrastructure. This further enables collaboration with other teams using alternative build tools like Maven, Gradle or SBT.

I'm new to the jenkins world and I know this question seems somewhat open-ended, but after reading the jenkins plugin development tutorial I'm still lost as to where to start.
I need to write a jenkins plugin that can determine the maven dependencies used in the project.
I'm very confused about which jenkins #Extension I should be extending or what hudson class I should be investigating to get the maven artifacts.
Currently, I have a class that extends hudson.tasks.Recorder and I'm implementing the perform(AbstractBuild build, Launcher launcher, BuildListener listener) method. But I'm not sure how to extract the artifacts from (presumably) the AbstractBuild object.
Any direction would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Get Maven artifact properties from Jenkins plugin
I am trying to setup the maven project to run the JMeter tests. Please let me know the way to setup the things to run the JMeter tests using Maven.
For me, most natural option is to use jmeter-maven-plugin:
https://github.com/jmeter-maven-plugin/jmeter-maven-plugin
It has good wiki with plenty of configuration examples.
I documented it all here. This project describes how to do it with Gradle and also with Maven. Personally, I think the Gradle version is a little more stable but the Maven version allows for nice HTML reports.
