[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16140?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12927187#comment-12927187 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-16140:
------------------------------------

Requirements:

* Each job has a unique name, github repo & branch, SCM check schedule.

* Many jobs override defaults in parent pom to pass in different URLs for composite sites, or parameters for testing. Not all jobs use the same params.

* Many jobs use the same target platform versions/URLs. But not all -- discovery build may be generating based on a newer TP than what the rest of the stack is using because it links to the Central TP as well as the JBT/JBDS TP. That job in particular gets updated and respun as part of the release process, so it probably shouldn't be generated from a template.

* Links between jobs must exist correctly. Generating a job referencing a downstream job which doesn't yet exist may break the job links. 

* Buildflow job changes periodically as new component projects are added to or removed from the stack.

> Cloudbees released their folder plugin, which is about factorizing jobs configuration, as an OSS plugin: http://blog.cloudbees.com/2013/10/cloudbees-folders-plugin-now-open-source.html
> We should investigate on whether it would help to use to manage JBT/JBDS jobs.
