### Implement configuration-level plugin setting with MyPlugin, MyPluginSetting, and MyAnotherStep

Source: https://wiki.pmease.com/display/QB16/Working+with+Plugin+Settings

These three Java classes together implement configuration-level plugin settings for the myplugin example. Modify MyPlugin to return MyPluginSetting from getConfigurationSettingClass(), annotate MyPluginSetting with @Editable to provide a description, and use PluginSettingHelper.findConfigurationSetting() in MyAnotherStep to retrieve the setting and log the prefixed message. After saving and starting QuickBuild, the root configuration's advanced settings will include the contributed section, and child configurations inherit the setting unless overridden.

```java
... // omitted for brevity  
public class MyPlugin extends AbstractPlugin {  
  
	@Override  
	public Object[] getExtensions() {  
                ... // omitted for brevity  
	}  
  
        /*  
	@Override  
	public Class<?> getSettingClass() {  
		return MyPluginSetting.class;  
	}  
        */  
  
	@Override  
	public Class<?> getConfigurationSettingClass() {  
		return MyPluginSetting.class;  
	}  
  
}  

```

```java
... // omitted for brevity	  
@Editable(description="Specify plugin setting for myplugin.")  
public class MyPluginSetting implements Serializable {  
        ... // omitted for brevity	  
}  

```

```java
import com.pmease.quickbuild.pluginsupport.PluginSettingHelper;  
  
... // omitted for brevity  
public class MyAnotherStep extends Step {  
  
        ... // omitted for brevity  
  
	@Override  
	public void run() {  
		MyPluginSetting pluginSetting = (MyPluginSetting) PluginSettingHelper.findConfigurationSetting(MyPlugin.class, Context.getConfiguration(), true);  
		Context.getLogger().info(pluginSetting.getPrefix() + ": " + getMessage());  
	}  
  
}

### Create a Wicket panel for QuickBuild build overview

Source: https://wiki.pmease.com/display/QB16/Working+with+Plugin+UI

These three files together create a Wicket panel that displays 'hello' to the current user on the build overview screen. MyPanel.java defines the panel and uses Context.getUser() to get the user name, defaulting to 'guest'. MyPanel.html provides the markup with a wicket:id='message' div. MyPlugin.java registers the panel via the BuildOverviewContribution extension point, also including two StepProvider entries for MyStep and MyAnotherStep.

```java
package com.example.myplugin;  
  
import org.apache.wicket.markup.html.basic.Label;  
import org.apache.wicket.markup.html.panel.Panel;  
  
import com.pmease.quickbuild.Context;  
  
public class MyPanel extends Panel {  
  
	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;  
	  
	public MyPanel(String id) {  
		super(id);  
		  
		String userName;  
		if (Context.getUser() != null)  
			userName = Context.getUser().getName();  
		else  
			userName = "guest";  
		add(new Label("message", "hello " + userName));  
	}  
  
}  
```

```html
<wicket:panel>  
	<div wicket:id="message" class="round-corner" style="padding:16px;"/>  
</wicket:panel>  
```

```java
package com.example.myplugin;  
  
import java.util.ArrayList;  
import java.util.List;  
  
import org.apache.wicket.markup.html.panel.Panel;  
  
import com.pmease.quickbuild.extensionpoint.BuildOverviewContribution;

	@Override  
	public Object[] getExtensions() {  
		return new Object[] {  
			new StepProvider() {  
  
				@Override  
				public Class<? extends Step> getStepClass() {  
					return MyStep.class;  
				}  
				  
			},   
			new StepProvider() {  
  
				@Override  
				public Class<? extends Step> getStepClass() {  
					return MyAnotherStep.class;  
				}  
				  
			},   
			new BuildOverviewContribution() {  
				  
				public List<PanelCreator> getPanelCreators() {  
					List<PanelCreator> creators = new ArrayList<PanelCreator>();  
					creators.add(new PanelCreator() {  
  
						public Panel getPanel(String id) {  
							return new MyPanel(id);  
						}  
						  
					});  
					return creators;  
				}  
				  
				public int getOrder() {  
					return 500;  
				}  
			}  
		};

### Define and use a global plugin setting in QuickBuild (MyPluginSetting, MyPlugin, MyAnotherStep)

Source: https://wiki.pmease.com/display/QB16/Working+with+Plugin+Settings

These three Java files together implement a global plugin setting in QuickBuild. First, MyPluginSetting defines a serializable setting class with a prefix field annotated with @Editable and @NotEmpty. Then MyPlugin overrides getSettingClass() to return MyPluginSetting.class. Finally, MyAnotherStep retrieves the setting via PluginSettingHelper.getSetting() and prefixes its log message with the configured prefix.

```java
package com.example.myplugin;  
  
import org.hibernate.validator.NotEmpty;  
import com.pmease.quickbuild.annotation.Editable;  
  
// Plugin setting class must contains a default constructor and implement Serializable interface  
public class MyPluginSetting implements Serializable {  
	  
	private String prefix;  
  
	@Editable(description="Specify a message prefix here.")  
	@NotEmpty  
	public String getPrefix() {  
		return prefix;  
	}  
  
	public void setPrefix(String prefix) {  
		this.prefix = prefix;  
	}  
	  
}  

```

```java
... // omitted for brevity  
  
public class MyPlugin extends AbstractPlugin {  
  
	@Override  
	public Object[] getExtensions() {  
                ... // omitted for brevity  
	}  
  
	@Override  
	public Class<?> getSettingClass() {  
		return MyPluginSetting.class;  
	}  
  
}  

```

```java
import com.pmease.quickbuild.pluginsupport.PluginSettingHelper;  
  
... // omitted for brevity  
public class MyAnotherStep extends Step {  
  
        ... // omitted for brevity  
  
	@Override  
	public void run() {  
		MyPluginSetting pluginSetting = (MyPluginSetting) PluginSettingHelper.getSetting(MyPlugin.class, true);  
		Context.getLogger().info(pluginSetting.getPrefix() + ": " + getMessage());  
	}  
  
}

### Sample build request XML

Source: https://wiki.pmease.com/display/QB16/Interact+with+Build+Requests

Sample XML for a build request object. It includes configurationId, respectBuildCondition, priority, variables, fileContents, and an optional promotionSource with server, buildId, promotionName, and deliveries. The fileContents element attaches base64-encoded file content to a variable, and the promotionSource can reference another QuickBuild server.

```xml
<com.pmease.quickbuild.BuildRequest>  
  <!-- This element tells QuickBuild in what configuration to trigger build. -->  
  <configurationId>10</configurationId>  
  
  <!-- This element tells whether or not to respect build condition of the configuration.   
       If this is set to true, and if the build condition evaluates to false, build will   
       not be triggered. -->  
  <respectBuildCondition>false</respectBuildCondition>  
  
  <!-- This optional element specifies priority of the build request, with value ranging from 1 to 10. The   
  bigger this value is, the higher the priority is -->  
  <priority>10</priority>  
  
  <!-- This element is optional and is used to specify variables for build triggering. If   
       specified, it will override the variable with the same name defined in configuration  
       basic setting. -->  
  <variables>  
    <entry>  
      <string>var_name1</string>  
      <string>var_value1</string>

    <entry>  
      <string>var_name2</string>  
      <string>var_value2</string>  
    </entry>  
  </variables>  
  
  <!-- This element is optional and is used to specify content of file to be uploaded.   
       In below example, file content will be attached to variable "var_name1", and   
       value of this variable specified in variables section will be the file name.   
       One can access full path to the file at QuickBuild side via vars.getValue("var_name1") -->  
  <fileContents>  
    <entry>  
      <string>var_name1</string>  
      <string>base64 encoding of file content</string>  
    </entry>  
  </fileContents>  
  
  <!-- This element is optional and is used to tell QuickBuild to request a build promotion. -->  
  <promotionSource>  
  
    <!-- This element is optional and is used to tell QuickBuild that the source build resides on another   
         QuickBuild server. -->
