The popular catchphrase surrounding the Jenkins plugin ecosystem is There’s a plugin for that, and indeed there probably is.

“If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” – Sir Issac Newton

The Jenkins open source development community in conjunction with enterprise software organizations has introduced a vast collection of ready-made plugins that can tailor Jenkins to meet almost any organizations’ specific tools and processes.
