    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16140?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12927189#comment-12927189 ] 

Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-16140:
----------------------------------------

[~maxandersen]: We already have some ability to set up an alternative server. https://github.com/jbdevstudio/jbdevstudio-ci contains the config.xml files for each job that can be pushed to whatever Jenkins server we want (through Jenkins Rest API). File https://github.com/jbdevstudio/jbdevstudio-ci/blob/master/pom-sync.xml shows how we use Nick's mojo to do that without much effot.
The coupling to JBoss infra is on the publication part which relies on FileSystem and network assumptions that are only true on jenkins.mw.lab.

What I see as a big benefit of Folder over buildchow is that:
* It is not generative, and generation is always an additional complex step
* it makes the concept of hierarchy and factorization natural in Jenkins

I may miss something, but I don't see what are the benefits of buildchow over the Folder plugin. I'd be glad to learn more.

> 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.
