This plugin oversees the launch of CMake based builds.

It provides a user interface for configuring the following parameters of a build step

1. CMake Buildscript Generator
2. Source directory
3. Build directory
4. CMake Build Type - Debug/Release/...
5. Cache file - to prepopulate cmake variables
6. Clean/Incremental build - to clean the build directory prior to buildscript generation
7. Pass arbitrary command-line arguments to cmake.

To perform the actual build, it can detect the actual build tool corresponding to the CMake Generator and

1. Can run the actual build tool as a sub-build step
2. Supports to run the build tool from an extra execute-shell \ ececute-batch build step (in case auto detection fails).

To ease the pain of provisioning Jenkins worker nodes, it can

• download a recent version of cmake on demand from cmake.org and use that exclusively for the build. Jenkins admins may configure the per-build-step-selectable CMake versions on the Jenkins` global configuration page. (Thanks to cmake.org for constantly providing portable/relocatable binaries for public download.)

Issues are tracked at the Jenkins issue Tracker.
