Please see the assignment:

1. Fix the job so it completes properly.
2. Explain what the script is doing

Jenkins Job Description

This Jenkins job is doing the following:

• Checks out a project from https://github.com/hughbrien/HelloWorldMaven.
• • I forked the project so I could track all the changes
• The job then executes a series of /bin/sh scripts
• Generates a json file
• Parses the generated file to access specific parameters for the maven build
• Calls mvn with build parameters.

Notes on Assisting Customers

• Here are some good tips
• Ensure your code / project will compile correctly in a local environment
• If possible, it can be a good idea to "mirror" your environment with the customer environments. Especially for complex problems
• Ensure all the commands invoked by your Jenkins agent/runtime are installed in your environment.
• Ensure Jenkins has access via appropriate PATH variables
• Ensure the CI/CD Environments are complete
• Recommend ways to optimize and simplify the building process by using or NOT using specific plugins.
