Jenkins supports a variety of CLI commands for view maintenance:

• add-job-to-view
• create-view
• delete-view
• get-view
• remove-job-from-view
• update-view

Currently, those commands cannot be used to manage views that are defined on folder level.

For users that rely on automated management of views, this is a major obstacle when introducing folders – they basically need to stop using the CLI commands and resport to custom groovy code for folder maintenance.

Therefore, it will be useful to extend the above CLI commands so they also support views that exist on folder level.
