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
Related
Using the Jenkins Artifactory plugin I'm trying to push an artifact to artifactory, in a post-build action (a feature of the plugin).
I believe I've set it up correctly but it just doesn't deploy it to artifactory. There's no evidence in the logs that it is even trying to, and no error.
Looking at the documentation it says very little about this, and it seems it should just work. I know it can deploy to artifactory because if I do it as part of the release, it does it. However, it doesn't do it the way I want, so I am doing it as a post-build action.
How can I figure out why it's not deploying? Any advice would be appreciated. Are there any good docs on this?
I should also mention that this is a Jenkins maven job.
I am not sure which artifactory target (jfrog, Sonatype nexus or something else...) you are using But for jfrog , they have a very good documentation and can be found from jfrog documents Link .Even the configuration method will be same for any other artifactory target.
If you still not convinced with the documentation, please share the pipeline details you are using or share the Jenkins job configuration screenshot for free style job.
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.
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:

If you have already covered the basics here, and got some specific problem, you need to provide more information to your specific situation.
I have only little experience using maven with eclipse. One of the job descriptions which I received has "Workflow management using Maven" as a required skill. What does this mean ? What do they possibly expect?
I think they want you to correct them? :D
I'm not sure what they refer to. I would guess it relates to the developer workflow of creating and delivering software with eclipse (?) and maven.
So setting up a project from scratch is often done from an maven archetype (a project template if you like). A lot of open source frameworks offer archetypes to start with.
For existing projects you would check out the code from version control and import it into eclipse. the m2eclipse plugin is required to do that (but I think its quite common to have it)
Then there is building the software. Which is done through executing maven phases (which will then execute plugins). See maven-phases for more details. Maven phases have default plugins that execute (for example compile will run the compiler plugin).
So your workflow would look like this: you modify the files. compile them, test them, package them, deploy the artifacts into the maven repository. the maven install phase will store the artifacts in you local repository, the maven deploy phase will upload them into the company's repository.
From there the the files are installed. Yet you can use maven plugins to install the software into a application server. That depends on the traditions of the company.
I would not think of workflow as some strict step by step think like BPMN. Development is usually done with huge amounts of personal practices (are tests written in advance or while implementing, and so on).
Hope that will help :)
I have a scenario like this.
Currently i have a test artifact for some deployment related tasks. This test artifacts is bundled with testng classes to handle deployment. I have created a gradle task which is calling above testng class in gradle file. Since this is a reusable Component, i am asking all the engineers who want to deploy the product to copy the tasks to their test gradle files. Now that i want more control on this task, i want to package this as part of Plugin and let the engineers apply the plugin and import the task. Also plan is package the above test artifact with the plugin.
I don't see any working examples on this scenario while searching on google. Can anyone point me to such example.
The Gradle User Guide has a lengthy section on Writing Custom Plugins. It probably makes the most sense to start there.
