Is there any plugin available in Jenkins which allows you to reuse shared configuration across the jobs.. e.g I can define a template for Continuous Integration and other template for Running Tests and create multiple jobs from these template for different branches.

I know template plugin is available in Enterprise Jenkins but is there something similar available for jenkins open source?

I am looking for something similar to here

I have found ez-templates plugin to behave well for Jobs templating. It is very young project and you will have to build it by yourself (which is very simple, see below), but still it is much more powerful than Template Project Plugin as it supports any types of jobs.

How to build:

  1. Install Maven 3
  2. Clone/download the ez-templates git repo
  3. Run 'mvn install' from the ez-templates checkout folder
  4. Once build is ready go to the 'target' folder and find the ez-templates.hpi which is self contained plugin binary.
