The following filetype xml will highlight Jenkinsfile syntax in PyCharm

create a new Jenkinsfile.xml, copy the following xml:

<filetype binary="false" description="Jenkinsfile support" name="Jenkinsfile">
  <highlighting>
    <options>
      <option name="LINE_COMMENT" value="//" />
      <option name="COMMENT_START" value="/*" />
      <option name="COMMENT_END" value="*/" />
      <option name="HEX_PREFIX" value="" />
