FlexDeploy offers integration with Jenkins via a pair of plugins; one for FlexDeploy, and one for Jenkins.
For a quick guide on configuring these plugins and using them together, check out the Getting Started with the Jenkins Plugin page. You can invoke Jenkins from FlexDeploy using shell plugin(s), see Invoking Jenkins job from command line for quick reference.
The FlexDeploy Plugin
The FlexDeploy Jenkins Plugin offers the ability to get an from a completed Jenkins build and put it into the FlexDeploy artifact repository. Once the artifact is brought into FlexDeploy, we can use it in any project build or deployment.
The plugin is further documented in the FlexDeploy Jenkins Plugin Guide.
The Jenkins Plugin
The Jenkins plugin can be downloaded from here.
This plugin for Jenkins runs as a post-build step that can build a project in FlexDeploy. This provides the ability to start a build in FlexDeploy after completing a job or project in Jenkins.
