Great things about Hudson plugins:

  • Maven makes it easy to start
  • [1] is really helpful and the developers' mailing list is an excellent resource
  • Hudson wiki has good plugin guides (if slightly out of date) and you can update them

Not so great things about Hudson plugins:

  • Can be hard to figure out where you should plug in for your particular task
  • Jelly difficult to work with - have to know just where to put your file
  • Community (including Kohsuke) are not Maven experts, so abstractions tend to leak () and hard to

Hudson plugins we wish we had:

  • Dependency graph showing which jobs start which other jobs
  • Grid Gain integration (farms work out to multiple machines and JVMs as if in a single JVM)
  • Detect slave configuration and auto-tag and group (all Windows machines, all machines with >1GB RAM)
  • Show timestamps in online console output, or even better, provide timings for each action (helps with performance-tuning your jobs)
