Ideally I would like to clone a jenkins project, but it is in say /dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/dir5 and I am in /dir1/dir2/dir6/dir7/dir8 and I can "copy existing item from" but it does not offer a browse, and I don't know how to specify a project from a different directory. If someone knows, you could let me know.

In the meantime, I will just have two window open. One window displaying the current project and the other window creating a new one, and I will just copy the things over. My problem, and I bet it is very simple but I could not find out during research or else it is so simple I overlooked it ;-) Jenkins wants me to specify the type (Freestyle project, MultiJob Project, Maven project, Pipeline, etc) and I am not sure. I want to make it the same as the existing project, but I can't figure out how to tell what type the existing project is. It does check out files from SVN and build via Java.

Can someone tell me how to find out what type of project an existing maven project is?
