Providing a First Class User Experience with Jenkins Plugins
summary
Connects Jenkins to a Delphix engine to provision virtual database copies via API, pre-populate UI drop-downs with available source databases, block the build until copies are ready, and stream Delphix service logs into the Jenkins build log. It issues cleanup calls to handle cancellation and delete orphaned resources, supports distributed execution by using serializable actions and FilePath abstractions, encourages Maven-based plugin testing, and recommends using Jenkins artifact archival and UI controls to reduce user error.
