Plugin Categories
Hudson is extended through the use of plugins. Plugins integrate Hudson with a range of build, SCM, testing and other ALM/SDLC tools
All available plugins can be browsed at Hudson Plugin Central
Plugins are categorized into three levels:
- Compatibility plugins are defined as being part of the Hudson Core, for the purposes of committer rights
- Featured Plugins are a growing group of plugins that are tested as part of the QA certification process of each release (from release 1.398)
- Recommended Plugins are those plugins that do not yet have functional testing done as part of the release process.
- Other Plugins are those plugins that do not yet have functional testing done as part of the release process.
Other plugins with no tier details have not yet been assessed into a tier. the assessed plugins represent the most popular plugins. If you would like a specific plugin to be assessed into a tier please mail the dev list

Recommended Plugins
These plugins fall into 4 categories:
- Hudson - plugins developed and maintained for the Hudson community
- Compatible - tested by their owners for compatibility between Hudson and Jenkins
- Install Tested - those that, on release of a new plugin version, are tested by the Hudson community that they at least install correctly. But there is no stated compatibility from Jenkins
- Other - plugins that have not been identified as belonging to any of the above categories
How to install plugins
Using the interface
The simplest way is by going to your installation's management screen and clicking Manage Plugins (http://yourhost/hudson/pluginManager/). The web interface will then download *.hpi files from here, and you will just need to restart your Hudson to pick up the changes.
By hand
Save the downloaded *.hpi file into the $HUDSON_HOME/plugins directory. You will then need to restart Hudson (many containers let you do this without restarting the container.)
Caveat: the names of the plugin directories on the download site are not always matching the name given to the plugin; common sense should apply.
