Configuration Slicing Plugin

Plugin Information

This plugin allows mass configuration of select project propertiesIt has a framework to make it very easy to add a configuration page for a new property.  At present, two types of data can be mass-configured: booleans and strings.  

The plugin shows up in Hudson's UI on the Manage Hudson page - seen here near the bottom of the page:  

The main page of the configuration slicing plugin shows all the properties that can be sliced - select one and you are presented with a screen showing how that value is set across the entire Hudson instance. Many properties on Hudson projects are useful to set this way, but the configuration slicing plugin can handle properties on any collection, such as slaves, or builds of a project.

In the case of booleans, the plugin presents a set of checkboxes and names.  The user can then adjust that property and save the changes.   

One of the more complicated examples is setting up the SCM polling schedule across all the jobs. This is done with the string slicer. The textbox contains each unique line from a SCM polling schedule, then two colons '::' and then a list of the jobs that contain that line. The line itself can be adjusted, or jobs can have that line removed by removing the job name from the line.
