Development

Debugging a Plugin

• start Jenkins and Sonar plugin with embedded Jetty :

  Code Block
  mvn hpi:run

  For testing purposes you can also specify version of Jenkins, which is greater than version used for compilation :

  Code Block
  mvn hpi:run -Dhudson.version=1.351

• browse to http://localhost:8080
• Jetty automatically detects compilation updates then restarts. Very useful.

Release

• edit the file ~/.java.net :

  Code Block
  userName=[java.net username] password=[java.net password]

• tag subversion and upload the release:

  Code Block
  $ cd plugins $ mvn -N install $ cd sonar $ mvn release:prepare release:perform -Dusername=[java.net username] -Dpassword=[java.net password]

• add the changelog to release notes.
