Optional Element Summary

InitMilestone	after Indicates that the specified milestone is necessary before executing this initializer.
String[]	attains Indicates the milestones that this initializer contributes to.
InitMilestone	before Indicates that this initializer is a necessary step before achieving the specified milestone.
String	displayName Key in Messages.properties that represents what this task is about.
boolean	fatal Should the failure in this task prevent Hudson from starting up?
String[]	requires Indicates the milestones necessary before executing this initializer.

after

public abstract InitMilestone after

Indicates that the specified milestone is necessary before executing this initializer.

This has the identical purpose as requires(), but it's separated to allow better type-safety when using InitMilestone as a requirement (since enum member definitions need to be constant.)

Default:

hudson.init.InitMilestone.STARTED

before

public abstract InitMilestone before

Indicates that this initializer is a necessary step before achieving the specified milestone.

This has the identical purpose as attains(). See after() for why there are two things to achieve the same goal.

Default:

hudson.init.InitMilestone.COMPLETED

requires

public abstract String[] requires

Indicates the milestones necessary before executing this initializer.

Default:

{}

attains

public abstract String[] attains

Indicates the milestones that this initializer contributes to. A milestone is considered attained if all the initializers that attains the given milestone completes. So it works as a kind of join.

Default:

{}

displayName

public abstract String displayName

Key in Messages.properties that represents what this task is about. Used for rendering the progress. Defaults to "${short class name}.${method Name}".

Default:

""

fatal

public abstract boolean fatal

Should the failure in this task prevent Hudson from starting up?

Task.failureIsFatal()

Default:

true
