[JENKINS-37389] add @Symbol("custom") to CustomTool's descriptor

[agabrys]

The @Symbol annotation defines a unique identifier which is used by DSL. Whit this commit it is possible to distinguish a difference between tools when the the tool step is called. Example:

• tool name: 'myTool', type: 'jdk' ← returns JDK with id "myTool"
• tool name: 'myTool', type: 'custom' ← returns custom tool with id "myTool"

Addresses JENKINS-37389 Add @Symbol("custom") to Custom Tool's ToolDescriptor.

• [x] Make sure you are opening from a topic/feature/bugfix branch (right side) and not your main branch!
• [x] Ensure that the pull request title represents the desired changelog entry
• [x] Please describe what you did
• [x] Link to relevant issues in GitHub or Jira
• [x] Link to relevant pull requests, esp. upstream and downstream changes
• [x] Ensure you have provided tests - that demonstrates feature works or fixes the issue

I didn't add any tests. Every extension should be annotated with @Symbol. Its value must be unique within a specific extension point, and there are no other tools with custom identifier (the change is safe).

@oleg-nenashev could you take a look? A very small PR which makes the tools management safer.

Jenkins failure is not related to the introduced changes. I have no powers to restart the build, so I force pushed the commit so scheduled it again.

If you prefer, I can change it from custom to customTool. However, it looks a little redundant to me:

tool name: 'xyz', type: 'custom'

vs.

tool name: 'xyz', type: 'customTool'

Where other don't use the suffix:

tool name: '17', type: 'jdk'
tool name: '3.2.5', type: 'maven'
tool name: '16', type: 'nodejs'

Please decide. I'll update (or not) based on the decision the PR and then we may merge it and maybe even release a new version (would be great) 🙂

If there is no issue, can someone accept the PR ? If I understand properly this conversation, this is the single thing that prevents to use Custom Tools in a declarative pipeline.

@oleg-nenashev Is there any reason that this PR is not merged yet?

Hello, there are 2.key reasons:

1. This plugin is up for adoption, I no longer actively maintain it
2. I am on sabbatical in the Jenkins community because of the war in Ukraine and the personal situation

All contributors interested in the plugin are welcome to step up as maintainers. Thanks for understanding

This plugin is up for adoption, I no longer actively maintain it

I would consider adding a notice in README.md telling that this repository is not actively and give a hyperlink to https://www.jenkins.io/doc/developer/plugin-governance/adopt-a-plugin/.

I wish you all the best ❤️
