View-cloner is a build step plugin that allows to copy a view and jobs visible in it. In the process of copying job names and configurations can be changed with supplied replacement pattern.

Usage

Create a Freestyle Project and add "View clone" step.
Fill all 5 fields
1. Absolute url of the view (Absolute url to the view you want to clone)
2. Niew view name (Name of the view that will be created)
3. Replace pattern (Comma separated list of oldValue=newValue Example: 1.1-SNAPSHOT=1.2-SNAPSHOT, slave1=slave2, master=release_19)
4. Username to authenticate with (user needs to have rights to job/view configs and job/view creation).
5. Password for the user

If you have role based security it is advised to create the "view clone job" where simple users cant configure it.

NOTE: Views populated using regex are not supported (jobs will not be cloned)
