trigger release event automatically by redmine jenkins plugin und release build

[cforce]

The redmine jenkins plugin (see https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Redmine+Plugin) can recognize a release build on jenkins and triggers the redmine release notes plugin together with submitted jenkins build info (job run url, scm revision, executor, time, artifacts urls, ...) to finish the release process on redmine. This can mean that the release notes plugin publsihed its own info torgether with the jenkins info on its release notes, news and wiki sites.

I don't really understand what you want redmine_release_notes to do. Presumably 'finish the release process on redmine' is the important bit -- could you expand on this?

Technically the redmine jenkins plugin will call webservice (rest api) of release notes plugin when running a speical release job on jenkins (e.g usinf maven release plugin) and pass some data on this call

• version of the build (shall match with redmine version string, so ist clear which version shall be released and other informal information which could be printedt out in wiki/news published entry
• url/link to the job just sucessfully run and triggering this call
• urls/links to the deployed artifacts (e.g in maven repo) like wars, zips, ear, ..etc
• username of the user who triggerend the release build
• statistics, like testcoverage ..etc Beyond the enrichtment of the jenkins build release information, this call can trigger to the the release automatically (so far the requiremnts are met) Maybe it would make sense to have two api
• one to transfer information for a release (which must be saved/updated by redmine release notes plugin)
• another one to trigger the release from remote

This sounds as though it's quite specific to your setup; I think code which does the kind of stuff you're describing is generally better off in a project-specific build script than in this plugin (although I haven't quite made up my mind just yet).
