I should have clarifed that by the term "workspace"....I am referring to the workspace that Jenkins creates UPON running the job and checking out the source code from whatever source code repository you are using.... Based on how the build job is defined....this might be an Ant build.xml that runs and that build script would be creating the artifacts - JARS, WARS,etc... in that workspace

All of this is brought into the workspace by Jenkins upon checkout. These would have targets that include compiling the source in the workspace and normally include steps that create artifacts such as JAR, WAR, or EAR files. In the Jenkins Configuration for a given job, you can select steps to run such as Execute Ant and which targets to trigger, or Execute shell for say running a command script like a Linux shell script. I would reccomend looking at the book titled Jenkins, The Definitive Guide by John Ferguson Smart if you are totally new to Jenkins. > > ________________________________ > From: Ted Jansen <themcproject...@gmail.com> > Sent: Sun Feb 26 08:09:47 EST 2012 > To: Jenkins Users <jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com> > Subject: Building a JAR File > > Hello, > > > This may be a noob question. > How can i build a jar file from jenkins from the workspace folder of a > project? > > > > With friendly greets, > > Ted Jansen
