ArchiveFilesSCM - This plugin for Jenkins checkouts archive files and extracts to Jenkins job workspace

• checkouts archive file only when last modified date(last*modified header returned when connecting to a URL) changes from last checkout date

• supports pooling using the same above logic

• supports extraction of zip,tar,gz,jar,war,ear files

• detects type of archive file based on file name (i.e URL must end with zip,tar,tar.gz,jar,war,ear)

• supports basic authentication

• supports connection through proxy

• supports running on slave

• supports http:// and file:// protocols e.g URL can be
  • http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/maven/binaries/apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz
  • file:///C:/Arjun/felix.jar (On Windows)
  • file:///home/arjun/felix.jar (On Unix/Linux)

Note: If the type is unknown the plugin will simply copy the file to workspace

Known Issues

• Jenkins server needs to be restarted when username and password is changed. This is because of JDK caching of credentials bug.
