Is there any alternative user interface existing to Hudson apart from the one you can use in the web-browser. I guess it’s possible to build one as Hudson exposes API for that, but was there ever built one?
I haven’t found anything so far in Google. Does anyone of you know of something like that existing?
The reason I would like to have an alternative (most likely not web-based desktop client) is because I had to do a lot of configuration and I miss some advanced features (coping of steps, global search and replace, faster loading and caching of config) that might be available in alternative GUI.
I know that I can edit job configuration files by hand, but still it would be nice to do it in GUI.
I usually copy the job and change what’s needed, but if your jobs are largely similar then the Jenkins template plugin might be well-suited for your needs.
