0.5.2-SNAPSHOT available on Github

Hi,

From now, I will give more information on the development of the jenkins plugin. A SNAPSHOT is available on github. It contains the following changelog :

• [Upd] Improvement in handling Connection Exception
• [Add] Widget : when clicking on the status icon, a popup is displayed with builds status summary
• [Fix] Widget should not be duplicated when multiple project windows are opened

News since May 15 2012:

• [Add] The plugin starts up with the last selected view
• [Upd] Jobs are loaded in background (with a loading decorator) 
• [Upd] On the popup summary panel, a health icon for the selected view is displayed
• [Fix] Build parameter dialog does not work

To install it,

• Make sure you have official release installed on your IDE (0.5.1 for example).
• Close your IDE
• Download it and save it into <.IntelliJ>/config/plugin/jenkins-control-plugin-0.5.1/libs (do not forget to remove the old jenkins-control-plugin-0.5.1.jar).

Regards,

David

Edit : Some people got some ClassNotFoundDefException when they tried to install it. I forgot to mention in the installation steps to have the jenkins plugin already installed before to proceed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Quick fix : 0.5.1

Hi all,

I uploaded a quick release 0.5.1 with the following fixes :

• Regression : When the server url is not set (or set to a dummy url), the plugin should not try to connect.
• Browser Panel : OneTouch Expandable should be accessible

This release should be available today (after Jetbrains's review).

Sorry for the inconvenience.

David

jenkins plugin 0.5.0 is out

I am please to announce new release of the jenkins plugin for Jetbrains products. Here below the changelog :

New features :

• Job Search : Type CTRL + F to display it and use F3 (SHIFT + F3 ) to search forward (backward). The search is cyclic. It means when the last occurrence is reached, the next search will start from the beginning (or the end, depending the search movement)
• Widget on the status bar : A blue icon will be displayed. It means all builds of the selected view are "good". If a build (or more) is broken then a red icon will be displayed withe number of broken builds. Moreover, a balloon will be displayed whenever there is broken build in the last Rss Entries.
• RSS UI is more readable, based on the Event Log panel of Intellij 11.

Misc :

• Improve loading performance by using Swing Thread (Thanks IntelliJ that warn you whenever you do not run UI component in the EDT).
• Connection issue when Job and Rss autorefresh threads are both enabled
• Configuration Panel: File input fields have now a validator. So when the file does not exist, then an error message is displayed
• Misspelling: Rename 'Password' to 'Password file' in the Configuration Panel: 

After submitting the plugin to Jetbrains, I saw a UI regression in the SplitPane. The OneTouchExpendable Button is missing. I will fix it in a near future.

About the upcoming features, I am thinking about a job filter based on the status.

Thanks for your support (Marcin, thanks for the widget suggestion).
