Jenkins : Writing Jelly views with IDE assistance

Using schemas for Jelly tags

XML schemas for tag libraries defined in Jelly, stapler, and Hudson are available. Most modern IDEs and other XML editors can use them to provide auto-completion, which improves your productivity.

Tool-specific configuration

IntelliJ IDEA

See http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/referencing-dtd-or-schema.html. Note that when you refer to local files, IntelliJ doesn't make copies, so you can update schemas just by overwriting those files. This is convenient for handling schemas that change frequently.

NetBeans

See NetBeans plugin for Stapler.

Stapler plugin for IntelliJ IDEA

We have a IntelliJ IDEA plugin for Stapler that assists Jelly file authoring.
