Jenkins CI: the Matrix Project Plugin and the Template Project Plugin

If you have a list of “identical” tasks, maybe even a (2-dimensional) matrix, the MPP may be useful for you.

If you have further needs, the TPP may be for you. There you define:

• a template job, that you disable “forever”,
• and then the true jobs, that make use of the template job’s SCM configuration and/or its builders.
