Assuming it’s your package from the other thread

mvn package

Upload the artifact to your jenkins.

Otherwise switch your update center - Publishing Experimental Plugin Releases

it seems https://incrementals.jenkins.io/ site is down, unable to see artifact in jenkins

See the guide on development with incrementals at:

I’ve submitted a pull request that may help. The plugin does not appear to have incrementals enabled, though it has the .mvn directory that is required.

I’ve submitted a pull request to correct the mistake I made in the first pull request.

7

ok no problem, I have merged your changes in master branch

Added Jenkins pre release plugin unable to see in https://updates.jenkins.io/experimental/update-center.json this file

any idea ?

9

did you make a mvn release with beta as the url? like what did you do that you are expecting it to work?

10

no, I didn’t do mvn release, it means publish package ? I am seeing hpi file created by jenkins master [Plugins » qualys-iac-security-plugin] [Jenkins], So I am expecting update-center.json should have my plugin details like link to hpi file

The concept of the experimental update center is not used for plugins that are delivering incremental builds. Users that want to test an incremental build can either install the incremental build of the plugin from ci.jenkins.io or place the version details of the incremental build in the plugins.txt file that they use to manage their plugin versions.

The experimental update center is used for plugins that have not implemented incremental builds.
