Writing a Jenkins plugin for dummies

This guide is written for Ubuntu

Install Jenkins

• Follow these steps
• It will install this file amongst others: /usr/share/jenkins/jenkins.war
• You may need to start Jenkins on a different port than its default 8080
• The config is in this file: /etc/default/jenkins
• There are a list of command-line options at the end of this file
• You run it with this command:
• java -jar /usr/share/jenkins/jenkins.war --httpPort=9090
• (however this doesn't use the config you just edited)

Write a plugin

• Read this tutorial
• (more to come)

Allow PRE text to wrap on Confluence wiki

Add this to the wiki code:


{html}
<style type="text/css">
/* Allow PRE elements to wrap --- better than manually adding ad-hoc
 * linebreaks because
 * (a) It's automatic
 * (b) It adapts to the window width
 * (c) People can still copy-and-paste from the browser window and get the
 * original long lines
 */
pre {
 white-space: pre-wrap; /* css-3 */
 white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; /* Mozilla, since 1999 */
 white-space: -pre-wrap; /* Opera 4-6 */
 white-space: -o-pre-wrap; /* Opera 7 */
 word-wrap: break-word; /* Internet Explorer 5.5+ */
}
</style>
