Hudson-ci/extension-points-doc

Hudson defines extension points, which are interfaces or abstract classes that model an aspect of a build system. Those interfaces define contracts of what need to be implemented, and Hudson allows plugins to contribute those implementations. In general, all you need to do to register an implementation is to mark it with Template:@Extension.

Currently the following extension points are available. See Javadoc for more details about the contracts:


h4. AdministrativeMonitor

Checks the health of a subsystem of Hudson and if there's something that requires administrator's attention, notify the administrator.

h4. [AuthorizationStrategy|http://hudson-ci.org/javadoc/hudson/security/AuthorizationStrategy.html]

h4. [CLICommand|http://hudson-ci.org/javadoc/hudson/cli.CLICommand.html]
