Miscellaneous scripts for jenkins

maven-to-freestyle.groovy

Jenkins groovy script to convert Maven projects that use JDK 1.6 to freestyle projects.
Jenkins > 1.609 no longer supports JDK 1.6 and neither do Maven projects - in fact, all Maven projects run on whatever JDK version the server runs.
Does not use the REST API, works directly with jenkins by retrieving and modifying job XML live

What it does:

Moves old jobs out of the way and creates new ones using the old name
Keeps the XML unchanged except:
- moves all prebuilders to builders (unchanged)
- moves maven main step to builders, losing some settings that are not supported in a maven build step.
- moves all postbuilders to builders (unchanged)
- keeps publishers and everything else unchanged.

To use:

Create a job with an "Execute System Groovy Script" step. Paste in the code or use git directly.
Job must run on master (if you remove file archiving you can run it on slaves)
Read the top of the comments in script for build parameters
Run in DRY_RUN mode and review workspace xml (old and new). If changes look good, run for real.
