pskumar448, are you actively working on this? alexbrjo has a WIP PR at deploy-plugin#25. Do you mind if we repurpose this issue to pull in the acceptance criteria, which we see as the following:

As a pipeline author, I would like to use the Jenkins Deployer plugin from within my pipeline scripts and declarative pipelines so that I can easily deploy my apps from my Jenkins pipeline and  migrate my freestyle usage of this plugin to pipeline.

Acceptance Criteria

1. Each of the supported container adapters will have a symbol that allows creation of references which includes the deployment details required by each deployment target
2. There will be a pipeline step called deploy that is configurable from within the pipeline script
3. There will be unit tests that confirm new functionality
4. There will be manual testing that deploys wars from the pipeline (preferably both Tomcat and Glassfish)
5. The plugin will be upgraded to a recent plugin pom so that the testing is performed against somewhat recent versions

I'm proposing the following syntax, I think this provides a reasonably straightforward use and config.

node { 
    def tc8 = tomcat8( 
        url:        'http://localhost:1234/app',
        password:   '******', 
        userName:   'admin'
    )
    deploy(container: tc8, war: '/target/app.war', contextPath: '/app')   
    deploy(containers: [tc8, gf3], war: '/target/app.war', contextPath: '/app')
}

Tech notes/tasks:

• Refactor to work with pipeline APIs

Before working on this functionality I didn't look at PR list, past 2 months onwards I was thinking to implement last weekend I got time and implemented. After sending the PR only I got to know there is already a PR for this functionality.
