Installing Jenkins plugins
The extensible architecture of Jenkins makes it very powerful. There are third-party plugins that enable you to add extra features to your Jenkins instance. These features enable you to work with different SCM tools, such as Git, to generate code quality and code coverage reports, or to automate other manual tasks, such as database schema migration, and so on. In this recipe, you will learn how you can install the Green Balls plugin (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Green+Balls) to your OpenShift Jenkins instance. The Green Balls plugin makes Jenkins use green balls instead of blue balls for successful builds.
Getting ready
This recipe assumes you already have a Jenkins-enabled application, as discussed in the Adding Jenkins CI to your application recipe.
