#Jenkins Twitter Sample Plugin

A plugin created as a part of Jenkins Training I've given in the EPAM Systems. Rather basic and will be updated later.

##Prerequisites

Before proceeding with exercise you need to do the following:

• Java 1.6
• Maven 2.2.1

Maven 2.2.1

Maven settings($M2_HOME/conf/settings.xml) needs to be updated with the following values.

<settings>
  <pluginGroups>
    <pluginGroup>org.jenkins-ci.tools</pluginGroup>
  </pluginGroups>
  <profiles>
    <!-- Give access to Jenkins plugins -->
    <profile>
      <id>jenkins</id>
      <activation>
        <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
        <!-- change this to false, if you don't like to have it on per default -->
      </activation>
      <repositories>
        <repository>
          <id>repo.jenkins-ci.org</id>
          <url>http://repo.jenkins-ci.org/public/</url>
        </repository>
      </repositories>
      <pluginRepositories>
        <pluginRepository>
          <id>repo.jenkins-ci.org</id>

        </pluginRepository>
      </pluginRepositories>
    </profile>
  </profiles>
</settings>

##Step 1 Create a plugin with Maven

mvn -up hpi:create

You will be asked to provide groupId and artifactId. Your newly created plugin will be located in the folder with name similar to artifactId.

##Step 2 Start a jenkins with plugin.

There are an issues with Maven Central, so you need to use the workaround when 1st time executing hpi:run:

mvn -Dmaven.wagon.provider.http=httpclient hpi:run

Next time you can execute command without additional params:

mvn hpi:run

##Step3 Create a new application in http://dev.twitter.com/. You will need the following:

• Consumer key
• Consumer secret
• Access token
• Access token secret

##Step 4 Explore the code
