Jenkins : Build not failing even the code is incorrect syntax wise

Question

I missed one of the semicolon to see the red build on the jenkins, while using the Git

public class SpringbootController {
    public void callSerivce() {
        System.out.println("to check se changes");
        System.out.println("to check se changes")
    }
}

but still on the jenkins, it is showing the build is successful.

don't know what exactly i missed,please help

newbie in jenkins

is there anything i need to add in the shell to make it work, right now it is empty.

To sum up the conversation in the comments: in order for Jenkins to build your code you need to tell it how to build your code. By default Jenkins doesn't do anything beyond the SCM checkout on its own.

Since you're building a Java project with Maven you should add a Maven build step after your SCM checkout. You will need the Maven Project Plugin .

In your post-build steps you should add an "Archive the artifacts" step to gather up anything built during your job you want to keep since your workspace will get potentially wiped out next run.
