- A step-by-step, practical guide to help you learn about extension points in existing plugins and how to build your own plugin
Jenkins CI is the leading open source continuous integration server. It is written in Java and has a wealth of plugins to support the building and testing of virtually any project. Jenkins supports multiple Software Configuration Management tools such as Git, Subversion, and Mercurial.
This book explores and explains the many extension points and customizations that Jenkins offers its users, and teaches you how to develop your own Jenkins extensions and plugins.
First, you will learn how to adapt Jenkins and leverage its abilities to empower DevOps, Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment, and Agile projects. Next, you will find out how to reduce the cost of modern software development, increase the quality of deliveries, and thereby reduce the time to market. We will also teach you how to create your own custom plugins using Extension points.
Finally, we will show you how to combine everything you learned over the course of the book into one real-world scenario.

Jenkins provides many interfaces and extension points to enable users to customize and extend its functionality. In this book, we will explore these interfaces in depth and provide practical real-world examples that will take your usage of Jenkins to the next level.
In this book, you will learn how to develop and test your own Jenkins plugin, find out how to set up fully automated build pipelines and development processes, discover how to interact with the API and CLI, and how to enhance the user interface.
, Preparatory Steps , will cover the initial setup stepsgetting your development environment set up, an overview of Jenkins and some options to install and run it as well as extend the basic setup. We will also review the principles of Continuous Integration, which are explored in greater detail later.
, Automating the Jenkins UI , will discuss how several common issues and bottlenecks may be alleviated through the automation and adaptation of the Jenkins frontend. Here, we will look at four fairly typical use cases, identify the root cause of the issues, and propose some possible improvements that can be made through the alteration and automation of the GUI.
, Jenkins and the IDE , builds on the Continuous Integration principals that we looked at earlier and provides an introduction to the Mylyn project.
It then details how to set up a process that enables developers to interact with Jenkins directly from within their IDE. A selection of examples covers Eclipse, NetBeans, and IntelliJ.
, The API and the CLI , illustrates how we can automate and extend Jenkins through its API and CLI. In this chapter, we will illustrate how to use these interfaces by working through the high-level "building blocks" of an example "Information Radiator" project.
This chapter will explain how to create a dynamic application that consumes information from Jenkins via its exposed interfaces.
We will also review other ways in which you could extend Jenkins via the CLIby kicking off jobs and making other changes to Jenkins automatically and remotely.
, Extension Points , introduces many important concepts that provide a foundation for the Jenkins Extension points topics in the subsequent chapters. We will run through Java interfaces, Design by Contract, abstract classes, and Singletons. We will then take a look at how these patterns are used in the real world when we define our own Extension Point in Jenkins.
, Developing Your Own Jenkins Plugin , will combine the skills, concepts, and tools from the preceding chapters to build our first Jenkins plugin.
We will take a look at Maven and learn how to set it up and use it for Jenkins plugin development. We will then create our first Jenkins plugin, learn how to install it locally, and then learn how to quickly make, build, and deploy subsequent changes using Maven.
