Hi boy8bitx, It sounds like it is part of your assignment to figure these items out, so I will not answer your questions directly. However, what I will say is that most of these questions can be answered by playing with your Jenkins installation and understanding Maven a bit better. Jobs are cheap, so if you're not sure what the difference between a freestyle job and a Maven 2/3 job, set up a job of each type and run builds for each. Read the inline help for each item in the configuration page. Make sure you run at least a couple builds under each job type. For Maven functions related to your questions, you should probably make sure you read and understand http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html. Try a few of the lifecycle commands to make sure you know what they do, then try them in Jenkins to see if Jenkins can help you.
Hope this helps and good luck. It's good to hear your teacher is exposing you to these kinds of tools and technologies, it took me a while after school to "discover" these and get them in place. topher On Fri, Aug 16, 2013 at 4:41 PM, <boy8b...@gmail.com> wrote: > First of all I'm a student and very noobish with linux and jenkins.
