This is a plugin for Jenkins-CI (http://jenkins-ci.org) which allows defining build parameters, which default values are generated dynamically by a script. Currently, only Groovy is supported as a script language. The script is executed each time before the build parameters are shown to the user. It can be executed either on the master or on a slave, if one is assigned for the build. This behavior can be configured for each parameter individually.
The plugin provides two types of parameters: simple text-filed parameter and a choice (drop-down) parameter. If the parameter is a text-field, the corresponding script must return a single value. If the parameter is a choice parameter, then the script must resturn a list of values.
Groovy scripts for a parameter value can be defined by using the Jenkins Scriptler plugin or in the parameter configuration inline.
Since, this is a standard Maven Jenkins plugin project, the plugin can be build by running
$ mvn install
which will create the installable plugin archive target/dynamicparameter.hpi.
The jenkins plugin can be run by the maven goal:
$ mvn hpi:run
