So far I have covered how to setup Git, Eclipse, Jenkins, Code Stream, and a little Artifactory. We have Eclipse checking code into Git and Jenkins pulling the code and simply building it into a tar.gz file. We also have Code Stream setup to use Artifactory and established the means by which Code Stream will talk to Jenkins, but we are still missing some pieces we need before we can really dig into how to use Code Stream. I know this may seem a bit confusing, but I promise it will all make sense very soon.
We now need to connect Jenkins to Artifactory. Why you ask? We are going to connect Jenkins to Artifactory so it can publish the tar,gz file as an artifact in the Artifactory repository. We need to do this so we can later have code stream pull it from Artifactory. the cool part is not only can we utilize this artifact with Code Stream, but it can be used with out solutions as well like vRealize Application Services if we wanted. Ok let’s not get to far ahead. In this article we are simply going to connect Jenkins to Artifactory and modify our build to publish the tar.gz file as an artifact to a repository.
