# Chatter plugin for Jenkins

This is a plugin for Jenkins that will post build build results to a Chatter feed. You can configure it to post to a specific User (e.g. a build user), a specific group (e.g. a group that owns the build), or a specific record (perhaps you have a custom object that tracks build configs).


# Build

The plugin is built with Maven, same as Jenkins itself, simply clone to repo and run mvn install, the generated plugin ChatterPlugin.hdi will be in the target directory.

More details on building Jenkins plugins are available on the [Jenkins Wiki](https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Plugin+tutorial)
If you don't want to build from the source, there's a prebuilt version of the plugin available in the downloads section.

# Install

Goto the manage jenkins page, manage plugins, and then the advanced tab, and pick the option to upload a new plugin. When the upload is finished, you'll need to restart your server.


# Configure

With the plug-in installed, and the server restarted, the build configuration page will now have an extra option "Chatter Results", if you select this, then you can 
populate the 4 fields as need (username, password and optional serverUrl to login to, and the recordId to post the results to, leave this blank to post to the users
wall, or enter a record Id to post to that specific record (or group)).
