Support for Maven2 type projects? #23

Hi everybody,

the plugin looks great!

It looks like only freestyle projects are supported at the moment. I'm wondering if it would be possible to support Maven projects as well.

The one specific killer feature of Maven vs. Freestyle project is that builds for dependent components are automatically triggered when a root component changes ("build project when a SNAPSHOT dependency was built")

Maybe it is possible already, but I have just overlooked it?

Cheers, Torben

I'm currently experimenting with this plugin as a workaround: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Maven+Dependency+Update+trigger

However, it's not a very usable workaround:

trigger does not get inherited
dependent builds don't start immediately because it's polling
you don't get the upstream / downstream projects references to the dependent builds

Adding support for maven projects would be the feature I'm really missing the most.

upvote :-)
