[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16140?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-16140: ---------------------------------------- I just had a look at Folders. When it comes to factorization and templating, there is nothing. Such features are actually part of Cloudbees Template plugin ( http://www.cloudbees.com/jenkins-enterprise-by-cloudbees-features-templat... ), which is not OSS. Folders are basically namespace-aware/parenting views, with some ability to copy a whole folder (and its jobs) to create a new stream. Folders act like namespaces, so there is no need to suffix jobs depending on the stream as long as they are not part of the same folder. IMO, for our case, Folders would somehow make it easier to "branch" new streams from master. While using it, it just appears that all mechanism we have relying in views and stream suffix conventions is just a workaround to provide exactly what Folders provide. I feel like it's worth using it instead of Views. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
