10.5. Generating Your Maven Build Jobs Automatically

Contributed by Evgeny Goldin

As mentioned in the previous section, the number of build jobs that your Jenkins server will host can vary. As the number of build jobs grows, it becomes harder not only to view them in Jenkins dashboard, but to configure them as well. Imagine what would it take to configure 20 to 50 Jenkins jobs one-by-one! In addition, many of those jobs may have common configuration elements, such as Maven goals or build memory settings, which results in duplicated configuration and higher maintenance overhead.
