Hi Harish, Thanks for your time and kind reply. I hope i got a good startup for Jenkins with your response.
I do have some couple of questions, In my point 1. i have asked about checkout of files to a desired location. But the perforce plugin doesn't seem to be supporting this feature. It directly maps only to the working directory. In #5, i have asked about contacting internal API's for logging defects in defect tracker. Right now i have downloaded the .war file of Jenkins and deployed in app server. Is it possible for me to extend the source code and my own features on unit test failures?
