When I write Hudson and Jenkins plug-ins , I want to support both of them and remain as neutral to the fork as possible. In order to do this I have chosen to host my plug-ins in a neutral place (bitbucket), but I still want my plug-in to show up in both update centres. This series of blog entries is my attempt at documenting how that it done, and this part is about which accounts you need.
My plugin:
My plugin is hosted at bitbucket.org, I use it both for source code, wiki and issues. In effect I am not relying on Hudson or Jenkins infrastructure except for publishing to their update centres.
Jenkins:
In order to publish to Jenkins you only need one account. This account is used to access the jenkins Wiki, Jira, Fisheye and publish to their Maven repository. You create it here: https://jenkins-ci.org/account
Hudson:
Hudson is a bit more complicated as they use Maven Central repository for hosting their plug-ins, so you will need both access to Hudson and to push to maven push to Maven central.
- First you need access to the Hudson wiki.
- Secondly you will need to have PGP key in order to sign your plug-in. I used Gnomes built in feature but the hudson pages have a guide as well.
- You need an account with Nexus OSS in order to use their staging facility and publish to Maven central repository. Create the account according to this page, and make sure to create the Jira ticket. YOu need the later part in order to get the hudson-deployer role.
