Usage for global.jelly and config.jelly in Jenkins plugin

I am working on a Jenkins plugin using Maven 3 see two default .jelly files: global.jelly and config.jelly. What is the difference between the two, and can you give me examples of what goes in each file?

This is a result of a project created by: 

mvn hpi:create

Thanks in advance for any help!

Solution

    • global.jelly is for global configuration (i.e per Jenkins instance - the values you can configure at http://<your_jenkins_server>/configure ) examples can be - SMTP server address if this is a mailer plugin, or some tool location if your plugin calls that tool

    • config.jelly is for the job configuration - defining plugin parameters for a specific job.

    examples: mail recipients for that job reports, specific execution parameters, output file locations, etc.
