Looking through the source code is semi-helpful, but I am still not 100% sure how I would actually write the code for this. Any tips or links to figuring out the right way to contribute this?

Mike Kobit added a comment - 2016-07-31 12:57 I'm a Jenkins newbie, but this seemed like it might be an easy to pickup and contribute. Checked out the source code from https://github.com/jenkinsci/cloudbees-folder-plugin . mvn -version Apache Maven 3.3.9 (bb52d8502b132ec0a5a3f4c09453c07478323dc5; 2015-11-10T10:41:47-06:00) Maven home: /usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.3.9/libexec Java version: 1.8.0_60, vendor: Oracle Corporation Java home: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home/jre Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8 OS name: "mac os x", version: "10.10.5", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac" I attempted to build it with mvn verify and saw a few Javadoc errors with malformed tags. I fixed these, and then mvn verify again and a success. I'm now trying to run by following some of the steps on the Jenkins Plugin Tutorial wiki page . I run mvn hpi:run and I see a SEVERE in the output logs: SEVERE: found cycle in plugin dependencies: (root=Plugin:cloudbees-folder, deactivating all involved) Plugin:cloudbees-folder -> Plugin:matrix-auth -> Plugin:cloudbees-folder I also see the "The following plugins are deactivated because of cyclic dependencies, most likely you can resolve the issue by updating these to a newer version." with both plugins at http://localhost:8080/jenkins/manage . I commented out the matrix-auth for now because it seems like that is being copied into the run container. <!--<dependency> --> <!--<groupId> org.jenkins-ci.plugins </groupId> --> <!--<artifactId> matrix-auth </artifactId> --> <!--<version> 1.3 </version> --> <!--<scope> test </scope> --> <!--<type> jar </type> --> <!--</dependency> This seems sort of wonky, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to contribute here.
