Jenkins - (Java) API (Object Model)

Jenkins is primarily a set of Java classes that model the concepts of a build system.

All classes are bound to URLs by using Stapler.

The root of the object model is Hudson, and all the other model objects are reachable from it. It's a singleton instance.

There are representational classes like:

• Project (Also known as Job),
• Build (build.getChangeSet() have all changes in de build)

Then there are interfaces and classes that model code that performs a part of a build, such as:

• SCM for accessing source code control system,
• Ant for performing an Ant-based build,
• Mailer for sending out e-mail notifications.

• Architecture
