      Problem

      Today the Jenkins JIRA plugin may spam JIRA issues with comments every time Jenkins has built something. This may clutter up the Comments in the JIRA issue so that "normal" user comments are difficult to see.

      Suggestion

      The issue JENKINS-2541 is one suggestion for resolving this clutter. Another is the following:

      Extend the Jenkins JIRA plugin with an ability to configure that comments should be collected and only be generated (added) at specific intervals, e.g. Everyday, Weekly, Bi-Weekly etc.

      The plugin should hence only add the collected comments to the JIRA issue in that interval. The advantage with this is that the JIRA issue will not be cluttered with each individual plugins comments.

          Radek Antoniuk added a comment -

          I think that we are relying on the "continuity" of everything, builds, integrations, etc...
          As such, we shouldn't introduce an artificial delay in updating the JIRA issues, because they should reflect the current status of the builds and development...
          A solution for this would be to use a dedicated JIRA tab for Jenkins comments, but that is out of scope for this plugin - this needs to be done in a JIRA plugin instead.

          Won't Fix - as designed. The comments should be added when they happen.
