Re: [hudson-dev] Announcing the Hudson job creator tool.

Henrik,

Do you have a wiki page explaining the concepts? Seems like a good idea for enterprises dealing with large number of similar jobs.

Hi

I have finally had the chance to pull together the last changes before
announcing the first version of the Hudson Job Creator tool.

The idea behind the tool is that you can write FreeMarker based
templates and combine those with properties defined in a "pipeline"
specification in order to generate Hudson's job config.xml files.
This is mainly useful if you maintain a number of similar jobs, or
have a series of jobs that you need to specify for multiple
environments.

I know working with Hudson's xml files directly can seem counter
intuitive since one of Hudson's main strengths is its approachability
and easy to use web interface, so later this week I will post a more
in depth blog post
explaining why I chose to go this route.

All the information about the tool including download is available on
github, https://github.com/hudson-plugins/jobcreator-tool .

Best regards
Henrik
