How to build/debug the plugin.

A basic tutorial for developing plugins is at https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Plugin+tutorial.

Simply:

1. Clone this repository.
2. Install Maven.
3. Open a command prompt at the repository root directory. Then run:
   • set MAVEN_OPTS=-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=8000,suspend=n
   • mvn hpi:run A development copy of Jenkins starts-up with the Redgate SQL Change Automation plugin loaded.

JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA is a good environment for developing and debugging Jenkins plugins. There is a free community edition.
