Parent POM for Jenkins Plugins

This new parent POM is decoupled from the core Jenkins project, both from the Maven and repository perspectives.

The main changes are:

  • Reduced number of overridable properties. All references (e.g. dependencies and plugin versions) not thought to be overridden are no longer based on properties. The main remaining overridable properties are:
    • jenkins.version: The Jenkins version required by the plugin.
    • jenkins-test-harness.version: The JTH version used to test plugin. Uses split test-harness (see JENKINS-32478). If the required Jenkins version is 1.580.1 or higher, JTH 2.1+ is recommended.
    • hpi-plugin.version: The HPI Maven Plugin version used by the plugin.
    • stapler-plugin.version: The Stapler Maven plugin version required by the plugin.
    • java.level: The Java version to use to build the plugin.
    • java.level.test: The Java version to use to build the plugin tests.
    • In order to make their versions the same as the used core version, slf4jVersion, node.version and npm.version properties are provided.
  • Tests are skipped during the perform phase of a release (can be overridden by setting release.skipTests to false).
  • General clean up.

Being able to specify the jenkins.version simplifies testing the plugin with different core versions, which is important, among others, for the Plugin Compatibility Testing.

In order to use the new POM:

  • Change the parent POM of your plugin:
  <parent>
    <groupId>org.jenkins-ci.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.3</version> <!-- or later -->
  </parent>
  • Override the needed properties, e.g.:
  <properties>
    <jenkins.version>1.609.1</jenkins.version>
    <hpi-plugin.version>1.106</hpi-plugin.version>
  </properties>

It is handy to be able to select different Jenkins baselines with a Maven profile. To set this up, you must edit your ~/.m2/settings.xml to include some new entries in the <profiles> section. For example:

<profile>
    <id>jenkins-2</id>
    <properties>
        <jenkins.version>2.0</jenkins.version>
        <hpi-plugin.version>1.115</hpi-plugin.version>
        <stapler-plugin.version>1.17</stapler-plugin.version>
        <java.level>7</java.level>
    </properties>
</profile>
<profile>
    <id>jenkins-651</id>
    <properties>
        <jenkins.version>1.651.1</jenkins.version>
        <hpi-plugin.version>1.115</hpi-plugin.version>
        <stapler-plugin.version>1.17</stapler-plugin.version>
        <java.level>7</java.level>
    </properties>
</profile>
<profile>
    <id>jenkins-642</id>
    <properties>
        <jenkins.version>1.642.3</jenkins.version>
        <hpi-plugin.version>1.115</hpi-plugin.version>
        <stapler-plugin.version>1.17</stapler-plugin.version>
        <java.level>7</java.level>
    </properties>
</profile>
<profile>
    <id>jenkins-625</id>
    <properties>
        <jenkins.version>1.625.3</jenkins.version>
        <hpi-plugin.version>1.106</hpi-plugin.version>
        <stapler-plugin.version>1.17</stapler-plugin.version>
        <java.level>7</java.level>
    </properties>
</profile>
<profile>
    <id>jenkins-609</id>
    <properties>
        <jenkins.version>1.609.3</jenkins.version>
        <hpi-plugin.version>1.106</hpi-plugin.version>
        <stapler-plugin.version>1.17</stapler-plugin.version>
        <java.level>6</java.level>
    </properties>
</profile>
<profile>
    <id>jenkins-596</id>
    <properties>
        <jenkins.version>1.596.3</jenkins.version>
        <hpi-plugin.version>1.106</hpi-plugin.version>
        <stapler-plugin.version>1.17</stapler-plugin.version>
        <java.level>6</java.level>
    </properties>
</profile>
<profile>
    <id>jenkins-580</id>
    <properties>
        <jenkins.version>1.580.3</jenkins.version>
        <hpi-plugin.version>1.106</hpi-plugin.version>
        <stapler-plugin.version>1.17</stapler-plugin.version>
        <java.level>6</java.level>
    </properties>
</profile>
<profile>
    <id>jenkins-565</id>
    <properties>
        <jenkins.version>1.565.3</jenkins.version>
        <jenkins-test-harness.version>1.565.3</jenkins-test-harness.version>
        <hpi-plugin.version>1.106</hpi-plugin.version>
        <stapler-plugin.version>1.17</stapler-plugin.version>
        <java.level>6</java.level>
    </properties>
</profile>

Now for example if your plugin normally builds against 1.625.x, but you wish to test compatibility with 1.651.x, there is no need to edit your POM. Just run:

mvn -Pjenkins-651 clean test

or

mvn -Pjenkins-651 hpi:run
