      Reading and translating the config.xml of a desired project isn't exactly easy. It'd be pretty straightforward to print the config.xml for a job in the DSL format. I'm thinking a button on the left of a Job, which registers itself as a URL (common Jenkins practice).

      Simple and easy and expected is good, at least for a starter. I'd go with this as you propose for R1

          +1 ... converting existing job to DSL would be great.

          http://job-dsl.herokuapp.com/ ?

          We also generate all config.xml in gradle by executing javaposse.jobdsl.Run and passing in our dsl files.

          That's pretty sweet but still does Groovy/DSL => XML ... rather than XML => DSL

          ki82 It appears someone recently submitted a solution for this (after it expired). Is there code working or have you not had a chance to check?

          Wasn't too bad to implement. Works for the 350 jobs I have access to so far. https://github.com/visualphoenix/jenkins-xml-to-jobdsl
