I install hudson also git plugin for hudson. But in project configuration there are no SCM option.
What can be the problem ?
You may need to install an additional plugin for the source code management system you are using. Ex: http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/Subversion+Plugin

We are planning to implement continuous integration with Jenkins software, so we successfully installed Jenkins in our server (windows platform)
My question was
How can I manage (keep) my source code?
How can we configure if the source code located in some other machine / server / cloud
Our current process
Jenkins, source code is available in same machine, so we created a project in Jenkins and map the pom.xml (like D:\pom.xml) file under build section.
Choose a Version control tool, consider that SVN and GIT are quite different (Git--> Distributed system, SVN-> Centralized system) so read a bit about them before choose, then check for the availability of GIT/SVN plugin in Jenkins unless it already contained in your Jenkins installation.
Put the code under SVN/GIT, follow the standards, configure Jenkins in order to access to SVN/GIT server.
Check how to configure maven with Jenkins, it has a great integration with Maven.
Maven Jenkins:
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/jenkins/jenkins_maven_setup.htm
Jenkins Git:
Jenkins and Git sparse checkouts
The flow of the single build job is:
Checkout The code,
Specify the folder with the pom.xml file
Run the maven goal you need (e.g. mvn install)
You put your source code into Subversion or Git. Then you give your Jenkins access to the Subversion/Git and point it to the URL which you want to checkout.
Answer to first question : Host your code in a SVN or GIT repository. Git has higher market share than SVN because of large feature set and higher efficiency. SVN is simple and easy to use for new comers in the version control territory. Explore the options and host the corresponding server in your infrastructure.
Answer to second question : There are multiple plugins available in Jenkins to fetch code from remote repositories. For git , there is git client, gitlab and gitHub plugin . For SVN there is Polarion webClient for SVN plugin.
Jenkins runs into error while locating "maven" folder, for Maven type project:
Jenkins needs to know where your Maven is installed. Please do so from the system configuration.
Just about the place where pom.xml location is to be mentioned.
As stated in the above answer, you need to set-up maven in Global Tool Configuration. Name your Maven & check the install automatically option. Jenkins will automatically install Maven before building the project
As mentioned in Bug JENKINS-34743, you need to set Maven Location in Global Tool Configuration = Jenkins initial page > Manage Jenkins > Global Tool Configuration
Is there a way to configure Jenkins to use specific Maven installation per job?
e.g.
Job A - Maven 3.3.3
Job B - Maven 3.3.9
Jenkins allows you to select which Maven installation to use per job. You can setup multiple installations of Maven, multiple settings configurations of Maven to be exact, through Manage Jenkins → Configure System.
Then to configure per job, in Jenkins, select your specific build job and choose Configure. From there, assuming it is a Maven project build, you should have option(s) under the Build section (might have to hit the Advanced button) where you can select the Maven settings for your installation you want.
khmarbaise's comment is very valid, though. Unless you have a very specific reason to downgrade Maven for a given job, your build shouldn't be too reliant on what minor versions of the build tool to use.
For newer Jenkins versions, management of Maven installations is placed here:
Manage Jenkins → Global Tool Configuration → section Maven.
Per job configuration: "Maven Version" dropdown placed in "Build" section.
I´m working with Maven 3, eclipse Helios and Jenkins e Artifactory. During the execution of release plugin one of the steps that this plugin is doing, is publish in artifactory the generated release. In my organization, we have the following issue:
Only the manage of configuration can run the release through Jenkins with release-plugin, but any developer can run the release plugin through console and this execution will overwrite the release published in artifactory.
I´m looking around artifactory configurations and all developer users are with read permissions but they can update release local in artifactory.
There are any solution to block or disable the execution of local release from eclipse through Jenkins?
Thanks if anyone can help me!
I would suggets using Artifactory's release management for Jenkins, which is part of the Jenkins Artifactory plugin.
This will allow you to run release management purely from Jenkins, possibly with a dedicated user, and also run staging and promotion on releases.
Releasing/staging would typically be done to a dedicated repo in Artifactory which only the Jenkins release user has write permissions for.
The release management functionality in the Jenkins Artifactory plugin is a complete replacement for the maven release plugin (and for the Jenkins m2release plugin which is based on the latter), that is:
Faster and involves less (unnecessary) rebuild cycles
Integrates your existing Maven and SCM Jenkins configs
More flexible in how versions can be applied
Offers robust rollbacks
Also works for non-Maven build types
Move release plugin to profile (it should not be activate by default). Activate profile only when you run build on jenkins. (for profile name jenkins use mvn <goals> -Pjenkins)

Would like to know how to integarate cruise control with maven?
Cruise Control comes with ant integraation by default and in the config.xml has antbootstapper.But dint find any bootstrapper for maven.Would like to know the configuration for maven.
You should be able to configure maven with cruisecontrol without a need for a specific maven bootstrapper.
What you need is a bootstrapper for the version control that you are using. Cruisecontrol provides bootstrappers for most of them. Using this, you can update pom.xml.
Using the maven scm plugin, you can specify the scm configuration in your pom.xml and thereafter run mvn scm:update prior to your build. e.g.
mvn scm:update clean install
