Description Viraj Purang CLA 2014-01-02 13:12:09 EST 
The "job-dsl-plugin" (located at https://github.com/jenkinsci/job-dsl-plugin.git) creates Jenkins job(s) using a DSL script; and allows for updates to such jobs using a friendly DSL. I believe it was developed/used by Netflix and then open sourced.

I have found it quite helpful while automating and consolidating jobs, and feel that it would add value to the Hudson ecosystem as well. It would be especially helpful for

1. Creating and destroying jobs via scripts.
2. Creating Testing scripts for jobs. (especially useful while testing updates to Jenkins configurations).
3. Isolating and externalizing configurations from the Hudson.
