The plugin currently supports:

  • WebSphere Application Server 6.1 (with security disabled)

Installation

To run this plugin against a Jenkins installation, the following extra step need to be taken:

  • The following WAS JAR files need to be placed into the Hudson class path or dropped into the %project.basedir%/WEB-INF/lib/  directory. These JAR files can be copied from the %WAS_HOME%/runtimes/ directory of your WAS server installation.
    • com.ibm.ws.admin.client_6.1.0

The plugin executes without exceptions but it does not do anything

This plugin depends on Deploy Plugin. The last version of the Deploy Plugin (1.5) seems to have some issue affecting also the Deploy WebSphere plugin. Downgrading the Deploy Plugin to version 1.4 should solve the problem.
