How to add new build step feature to Jenkins

Question

This is the first time I contribute to Jenkins code. I would like to add a new build step option to Jenkins (Like the "Execute shell" or "Invoke Ant" options). Where are these build steps kept? In the Jenkins core or is there a plugin that manages them?

Any tips on how to add a new build step capability to Jenkins and where to start would be appreciated.

Answer 1

All pipeline steps are contributed by plugins, many by the pipeline-* or workflow-* plugins, but also by others.

This article should give you some guidance, how to add own steps in your plugin by extending AbstractStepImpl .
