If you are running your Jenkins in Tomcat, you can place the 3rd party libs into the WEB-INF/lib folder.

If not... I guess I could add a input box to let you input a folder where you could place the 3rd-party libs.

I've changed my mind.
I decide not to let the user to specify the folder path which would hold the 3rd-party libs. As I think it's reasonable to make it a pre-defined path as $JENKINS_HOME/global-post-script/lib, which indicates it's only for running the groovy script, and it will not get deleted by someone else by accident.

Checkout this feature in 1.1.3, it might take a few hours for 1.1.3 to be synced to the update center.

Hi orctom,

Thanks much for helping me on this

I am trying to run the below code

-------------------------------------------------------
import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder
import groovyx.net.http.ContentType
import groovyx.net.http.Method
import groovyx.net.http.RESTClient
def client = new RESTClient( 'http://localhost' )
println client
-----------------------------------------------------
I have added all required JAR files under $JENKINS_HOME/global-post-script/lib

But when i run the above script trough the plugin i am getting [ERROR] Failed to execute: posthook.groovy, org/apache/http/client/methods/HttpRequestBase error .

At the same time when i have all these jars added to the .groovy directory under my home directory and tried to run the script manually (running groovy scriptfile.groovy command) its getting executed with the expected result

I added jars list almost the same with yours, and the script works just fine, it printed out the RESTClient instance.

Checkout your jenkins_home/lib folder if there're any httpclient jars, and your code has nothing to do with org/apache/http/client/methods/HttpRequestBase, I don't understand why it's throwing exceptions about this class.

Is that all your code?

Aaaah after days of troubleshooting i can see that it is working today
I uninstalled the plugin deleted the lib folder .Re installed the plugin and then re created the lib folder .Added the jars back and it just started working
