Trying the new Jenkins 2.0 Pipeline plugin suite...

The Jenkinsfile is being used by an initial Jenkins freestyle job that I have named "seed".

The initial "seed" job has a single "Process Job DSLs" build step which looks on the filesystem for Jenkinsfile.

Purpose:

• want to use Jenkins 2.0 Pipeline to automatically build branches and pull-requests.
• each pull-request should get a comment about build status result whenever there is a previously unbuilt commit.

Description:

• create a Jenkins 2.0 "Github Organization" top-level job folder.
• populates sub-folder structure and generates "Multibranch Pipeline" jobs for any Github repo branches and pull requests whenever Jenkinsfile is found in a repo root.
