Maven global configuration via Groovy init script

[Kamil Dzierżanowski]

Greetings!

I am working to migrate an entire Jenkins configuration to code, so it is
dynamically reproducible.
I haven't had problems with core config and plugins so far, but I cannot
find any classes or methods that would allow me to configure the "Maven
Project Configuration" section in code. There's the *jenkins.mvn* package,
but the classess and methods aren't very helpful.

I would be very grateful for any clue how to achieve this.

Best,
Kamil

I'd rather suggest to look at:

I'm not sure where the "Maven Project Configuration" section is but
something like the below snippet might help to configure the maven tools
globally:

tool:
maven: # (4)
installations:
- name: "maven"
properties:
- installSource:
installers:
- maven:
id: "3.5.4"

Cheers

Thanks for inspiration, Victor!

For the record, I was mentioning a part of "Configure Jenkins" page, which
turns out to probably be a part of maven-plugin. Currently it's located
right above the master node config (# of executors, etc.)

The YAML config for CasC should look similar to this:

# "Maven Project Configuration" section
mavenmoduleset:
globalMavenOpts: "some opts"
localRepository:
perJob: # alternatives: default, perExecutor


Now I haven't yet successfully managet to get the plugin to work, but it is
possible to do the same as Groovy init:

import hudson.maven.MavenModuleSet;
import hudson.maven.local_repo.*;

/*
* Possible classes of the hudson.maven.local_repo package:
* - DefaultLocalRepositoryLocator
* - PerExecutorLocalRepositoryLocator
* - PerJobLocalRepositoryLocator
*/

def mvnModuleSetDesc = MavenModuleSet.DESCRIPTOR;
mvnModuleSetDesc.setGlobalMavenOpts("Some options")
mvnModuleSetDesc.setLocalRepository(new PerJobLocalRepositoryLocator())
