Question

I am trying to create a simple jenkins plug-in that will run a job but Project.doBuild() requires StaplerRequest and StaplerResponse.

What is the Stapler (org.kohsuke.stapler.Stapler), StaplerRequest(org.kohsuke.stapler.StaplerRequest), and StaplerResponse(org.kohsuke.stapler.StaplerResponse)? What do they do and how do they work?

Thanks for any help.

Stapler is a library that “staples” your application objects to URLs, making it easier to write web applications. The core idea of Stapler is to automatically assign URLs for your objects, creating an intuitive URL hierarchy.
