Case Study Configuration Continue9:13
Configure a Jenkins case study job with Git, parameterized builds, triggers, time zones, Maven, Sonar quality gates, artifacts, and post-build actions like email notifications.
Introduction to Case Study2:03
Write a simple Java project that demonstrates polymorphism through method overloading, then integrate it with Jenkins for continuous integration, using Maven and SonarQube for quality checks.
Writing the Code11:20
Create a java project named Jenkins_demo_one in a com.jenkins.one package, with overloaded calculateArea methods for square and rectangle. Convert to a Maven project and run the main class.
Adding to Jenkins15:37
Learn to add the execute maven plugin to Jenkins, run mvn test to execute main class, view the output, and set up SonarQube for code analysis in a Jenkins workflow.
Final Steps21:21
Integrate sonar into Jenkins by running the sonar scanner before the Maven build, configure the project key and sonar properties, and use the SonarQube plugin for code quality checks.
Tomcat6:04
Download and configure Tomcat from the Apache foundation, set port to 8090 to avoid Jenkins clash, and install to the container plugin to deploy the war after Maven builds.
Adding Sonar3:32
Add sonar analysis to the project using the sonar scanner with the local JDK, configure a unique project key, and review the Sonar report before deploying to Tomcat.
Git and Maven7:23
Build an end-to-end Jenkins ci/cd pipeline for a web application by checking out from git, building with Maven, running a SonarQube scan, and deploying a war to Tomcat.
