While I am grateful for any help that I can get, I cannot say that I am crazy about being critiqued because I do not write in the style that you prefer. I will have to take a look at how everyone else does this forum 'thing'. I thought that I had written a clear and concise summary of my problem...I did not know that there is a template that I have to follow. I understand that you will not be replying to any more of my postings...hopefully someone else will.
I am new to Jenkins, I am not a Java developer, and have some difficulty knowing what plugin is applicable and what plugin is not. There is a whole list of 'Artifact uploaders', I have no idea of which one to use (which one is applicable to what I am doing...(Windows cmd files, doing msbuild, devenv, etc)). I will have to research this whole 'Artifact' thing, and see how it works.
