About this Hands-on Lab

In this lab we configure Maven to perform a build. This includes pulling the source code for the build from SCM. At the end of the build process, we also create an artifact for the build.

Additional Resources

Your company is ready to start utilizing the Jenkins server that you installed. The first project that they would like to convert to run on Jenkins is a Maven project from your company's M3 Maven server. This is to replace that server, but projects built there have the instance name hardcoded.

You are to create a project named "mavenproject". This should pull the code from the git repo and build the project. This should include the call to the binary that creates the index.jsp file:

go build bin/makeindex

The index.jsp file needs to be tracked for version control purposes.

The Jenkins login information is as follows:

  • User: student
  • Password: OmgPassword!
