5. Jenkins (2/2)

Jenkins is now installed and configured. We will now configure it to work with Github and build the yocto-meteo project.

You should be able to access Jenkins through the previous URL on port 8080. For my case it is: http://192.158.1.59:8080

1. Go in the plugins tab and select github plugin.
2. Select install and restart jenkins afterward

Jenkins is now up and running but not configured yet. 

1. Go in the configuration tab
2. Jenkins virtual appliance is shipped with Sun java 1.6. Let's set it in the JDK section:
• Select a name for the jdk
• Unset the "Install automatically" flag
• Set the JAVA_HOME path with /usr/lib/jvm/java
3. Maven is available by default but set it to install it automatically in the Maven section
4. In GitHub plugin:
1. Set "Let Jenkins auto-manage hook URLs"
2. Set your credentials to github
5. Select Save. 

Now, we have a jenkins virtual appliance fully functional but we still need to configure the project... We will now create a build and junit job

1. Select "New Job". 
2. Set the name "yocto-meteo" and set the radio button: "Maven project". You should then see a big page where you can configure the job
3. Select Git as the source code repository
4. Enter the Git URL: https://github.com/jfontignie/yocto-meteo
5. Select "Build when a change is pushed to GitHub. The build will be automatically performed every time submit something. It is very useful if you send an email when an issue is found. 
6. Select "Build periodically" and enter "0 3 * * *". It will perform a build every night at 3 AM.
7. Select "Check the versioning tool" and enter: "*/5 * * * *" in order to check for new changes every 5 minutes

Congratulations, you have now a build environment and a source code repository. We can now really start the project.
