Before You Begin

Please make sure to read the general information about Artifactory's Build Integration before going into the Jenkins-specific documentation.

Setting-up Jenkins/Hudson

The Jenkins/Hudson Plug-in

To integrate with Jenkins you will need to install the OSS Artifactory Jenkins Plug-in from Jenkins's Plug-ins Manager.
The plug-in provides:

  • Easy setup for deploying to Artifactory.
  • Enhanced deployment that transfers to Artifactory additional important build information.
  • UI integration allowing going from a Jenkins build directly to Artifactory.
  • Release Management with Staging and Promotion.

    Supported Build Technologies:

    The plug-in currently support: Maven 3, Maven 2, Gradle, and Ivy/Ant builds.

Installing and Configuring the Plug-in

To install the Jenkins Artifactory plug-in please follow the instructions on the Jenkins's Plug-in Center.
The configuration involves two steps:

  1. Setting up Jenkins to know your Artifactory server.
  2. Pointing a Jenkins build at a target local repository in Artifactory to which it should deploy the build artifacts - Jenkins will query Artifactory's available target repositories using Artifactory's REST API and allow you to select one.

It is recommended that you also configure Jenkins to use Artifactory for dependency resolution. This is currently not part of the plug-in and is done the regular way a build is configured, typically by changing the settings.xml or the ivysettings.xml.xml of the user running Jenkins.

Navigating Between Jenkins and Artifactory

Each build viewed in Artifactory corresponds to its Jenkins job counterpart and contains a build history of all runs, that reflect the build history in Jenkins:

For each build item in the history you can drill down into and get more fine details about it. You can also view the build in the CI server by selecting 'Show in CI Server'. You can also navigate back to Artifactory from Jenkins, as seen below:
