Re: [ee4j-build] Email notification on Jenkins job changes

[Mark Wareham <mark.wareham@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Stuart,

Probably not exactly what your looking for, but handy for that situation: I believe all the eclipse instances come with Job Configuration History Plugin. With this you can check the config history of the job in the build history on the left. If anything's changed config wise, then there will be a spanner next to the build in the "Build history" list. Click that spanner to see a diff of the config changes. You can also restore config from there.

Hi all,

Is it possible to configure Jenkins to email all committers when a Job changes? As Servlet lead I would really like to know if a job has been modified (I know we can just ask that everyone notifies the list before they make changes, but automated emails are much more reliable).

This also came up in a conversation I had with Greg, where we discussed that there are a lot of committers on the various EE4J projects (e.g. Servlet seems to have around 12 people who can modify the Jenkins jobs), and what would happen if a committer had their account compromised. 

Commits from a compromised account on Github would probably not be much of an issue, as merging requires the approval of another committer, however if the CI job was modified to stage a compromised artefact it would be very unlikely that anyone would notice unless the job needed to be modified for some reason.

I don't really know much about Jenkins but it looks like there is a plugin [1] that could support this, although I assume that requires an admin to install and configure it.
