Update Jenkins version
Update minimum Jenkins version
Jenkins plugins declare a minimum supported Jenkins version. The minimum Jenkins version is a good way for plugin developers to indicate the range of Jenkins versions they are willing to support and test. See the developer documentation for the recommended minimum Jenkins version.
Create a branch
In a local copy of your fork of the plugin repository create a git branch for your work with the command:
git checkout -b {task-identifier} master
Update minimum required Jenkins version
Update the minimum required Jenkins version by setting a jenkins.version
value in the properties section of the pom.xml
file:
<properties>
<jenkins.version>PLACEHOLDER_RECENT_LTS_POINT_HIGH</jenkins.version>
</properties>
If the plugin is already using the plugin bill of materials, then the bill of materials also needs to be updated with the matching artifactId
for the minimum required Jenkins version.
The version
may also need an upgrade see the developer documentation.
The git diff
might look like this:
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.jenkins.tools.bom</groupId>
- <artifactId>bom-2.319.x</artifactId>
+ <artifactId>bom-2.375.x</artifactId>
- <version>1466.v85a_616ea_b_87c</version>
+ <version>1981.v17df70e84a_a_1</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
