Role jenkins/deploy

Deploy the jenkins webapp into a application server. Currently only apache tomcat is supported.

The application server is not started after dropping jenkins. Neither is it stopped before doing that.

It will download and drop jenkins into the tomcat at catalina_base.

Parameters:
  • version – Jenkins version to install (eg. 1.643)
