Until now, Jenkins plugins written in Java or Groovy could only be built with Maven, using the maven-hpi-plugin to generate a proper manifest and archive which Jenkins can consume. But starting now, you can also use Gradle! See the wiki for information on how you can use Gradle and the new gradle-jpi-plugin to build, test and release your Java or Groovy...
I’ve just added three events coming up in the next few weeks to the Jenkins calendar. Conveniently, they are all events I’ll be attending while traveling around Western Europe! The Cologne JUG is having a meetup on Saturday, June 25th, starting at 2pm. We’ll be talking about Jenkins, maybe doing some coding, and then heading out for drinks and more talk!...
We’re happy to announce that there’ll be a Jenkins meetup in San Francisco on Wed., Apr 13th, generously hosted by Engine Yard. The meetup will start at 6:30 - you can find more information here. Dr Nic Williams of Engine Yard will talk about their use of Jenkins with Ruby, and Kohsuke will give an update on the JRuby plugin...
Updated usage statistics are now available at https://jenkins-ci.org/census This data has been scrubbed of distinguishing information as much as possible, filtered for installations we’ve seen at least twice a month with at least one job set up, and split up into monthly JSON files. Starting with August, we only have data on installations of version 1.368 or later - before...
(This was sent as an email to the Hudson dev and users mailing lists after voting concluded, but I thought it’d be good to post it here as well.) The vote is closed, and the results are in. More than half of the total votes were from ineligible voters, but the result would have been the same either way. The final...
First, my apologies for the lack of updates on the Hudson/Oracle situation for the last few weeks. While talks have been ongoing, the holidays have slowed things down, and we didn’t want to send out information that would later turn out not to be true. We’ve been waiting for the talks to reach a resolution - and I believe they now have. Since the java.net...
[Ed. note Andrew was not involved in selecting this post’s title - rtyler] I wanted to give the Hudson community a quick update on the current status of the issues Tyler has discussed in the earlier posts here. Friday afternoon, Kohsuke, CloudBees CEO Sacha Labourey and myself jumped on a conference call with Hudson contributor/Oracle employee Winston Prakash, Oracle manager Denis Tyrell...
In late 2008, the Hudson team released version 1.264 which added an anonymous reporting feature (you can opt-out in the "Manage Hudson" screen). The reporting feature has been sending information back to the Hudson team to help us understand how Hudson is used in aggregate; the info being reported includes the number of jobs configured, agent configurations, what plugins (and...
As you may have noticed, thanks to the link on this and the other pages here at hudson-labs.org, the Hudson development community has recently introduced ci.hudson-labs.org, the official Hudson-on-Hudson instance. We’re currently building Hudson proper, the Hudson core RC branch, individual builds for the various Hudson plugins and Gerrit, as well as various libraries and infrastructure jobs Hudson depends on. We’re...
