Continuous Integration

The Jenkins project runs its own Jenkins instance for CI builds on ci.jenkins.io. It will build all plugin repositories in the jenkinsci organization that have a Jenkinsfile in the root of the repository.

The typical plugin build (Maven or Gradle) can be run by just having the following statement in the Jenkinsfile:

buildPlugin(configurations: buildPlugin.recommendedConfigurations())

To learn more about the Pipeline library providing this functionality, see its GitHub repository.
