Upcoming in 1.6:

• Always using the latest available version of the Jenkins plugin archetype.
• More readily usable Jelly template.
• Fixed browser opening from mvn hpi:run to work with newer versions of Jetty.

Implemented in 1.5:

• *.jelly tabs display the simple name of the corresponding model, e.g. index.jelly [HelloWorldBuilder]
• *.jelly did not show History tab, and did not correctly display updated VCS modification status
• new versions of hpi:run publish http://localhost:8080/jenkins/ rather than http://localhost:8080/; open the right one in the browser
• Go to Stapler View/Model now prefers *.jelly to *.properties
• Stapler model navigation did not work from a view of a nested class

Implemented in 1.4:

• plugin template based on 1.509.3
• hyperlinking custom Jelly tags (e.g. <f:textbox/>) to their taglib definitions (textbox.jelly)
• editor hint for cases where ACL.impersonate is needed
• asks the project’s SCM to ignore the work directory of a plugin

Implemented in 1.3:

• navigate between types and their Jelly view folders (creating view folder as needed)
• New File template for Jelly scripts
• prominent Jenkins plugin archetype
• 7.3 baseline

Implemented in 1.2:

• Taking over Jenkins-dev-specific functionality of current maven.hudson module (in IDE distro), in a separate plugin (see NB #219789 for patch):
  • default actions, icon for hpi packaging
  • text/x-jelly+xml MIME registration and Jelly/Stapler schema validation support
  • show localhost:8080 when running Jenkins
• Signing NBMs.

Implemented in 1.1:

• Packaging improvements.
• NullPointerException fix.

Implemented in 1.0:

• replace hardcoded string ("including " + variable + " elements") with Messages.properties; see Internationalization

To do:

• Stapler view navigation should walk up the inheritance hierarchy if necessary, and consider a nested class if the caret is in one
• Stapler view creation should assume src/main/resources if there are multiple resource folders available
• extend Output Window hyperlink to work from hudson-dev:run
• find usages, find subtypes, etc. inside and between Jelly pages
• rename refactoring to rename view folders
• support jenkins-module packaging
• Java hint about VirtualChannel.call and VirtualChannel.callAsync (also FilePath.act) on anonymous inner classes or classes otherwise lacking serialVersionUID (cf. JENKINS-14667 and b807845)
• Code completion or similar for Groovy views
• Offer something like jelly2groovy as a context menu action on Jelly views
• hyperlink methods in Messages to their Messages.properties definitions
• textbox.jelly cannot be validated: tried to load nonexistent hudson.util.jelly.MorphTagLibrary.xsd
• should prompt user for Messages key (if it can be detected that the hint is running interactively)
• st:include should hyperlink the included page (when it can be statically determined)
