While running jmeter test with maven & jenkins, previously used the Jenkins performance plugin for comparing responsetime over the buildwith trend. Due to the XXE vulnerability on the plugin we have stopped using the same. Do we have any other jenkins plugin to compare the response time of the URLs \ transactions on the jenkins?
I don't know any other Jenkins plugins, you could consider Merge Results plugin which can be used for building charts and allowing you to compare different test executions:
Merge Results plugin can be installed using JMeter Plugins Manager
I have a Jenkinsfile that runs a pipeline. The pipeline runs correctly on one instance of Jenkins, so I believe there isn't a problem with my script.
I am now trying to copy the job over to another instance, but I get the following error in the console output:
Started by user

The following line gives the hint, where the error occurs in your pipeline script:
at WorkflowScript.run(WorkflowScript:3)
While line 3 in the pasted script is the node, I assume that something is odd with numbering and see an error in the parameters call (which would be line 3, if you start from the first line where the script starts.. not sure if this makes sense).
The reason, why this parameters would fail is that you copied this snippet from a Declarative Pipeline, but (as you don't have the pipeline wrapper, you're running a Scripted Pipeline.
For scripted pipelines, you have to use the build properties to define the parameters:
properties([
parameters([
string(name: 'dockerTag', defaultValue: '1.0', description: 'What is the docker tag?')
])
])
(as this is not obvious and not very well documented, I wrote a blog post a few months ago)

For the Job DSL Plugin (https://github.com/jenkinsci/job-dsl-plugin) you can script your Jenkins jobs using this plugins DSL script with the help of their built in methods to support most plugins.
When you encounter a plugin that is not yet supported you can still use it by using a "Configure" block (https://github.com/jenkinsci/job-dsl-plugin/wiki/The-Configure-Block) that tells the plugin how to build the XML manually.
Is there an equivalent feature for the new Jenkins 2.0 pipeline (https://jenkins.io/solutions/pipeline/) to support plugins that are either not updated often or at least until the plugin author adds support?
You should have a look at new Jenkinsfile capabilities. In essence, you can now configure your entire job using the Jenkinsfile and pipeline approach.
As per the recent announcement on Gradle forum, the Sonar Plugin and Sonar Runner Plugin are being deprecated in favor of the SonarQube plugin. Can someone share any links (documentation or blogs) that demonstrate setting this up in Jenkins. I tried this on the local setup and gradle sonarqube task works great.
Should we continue to use the "Invoke Standalone Sonar Analysis" (from Jenkins-Sonar plugin) build step in a freestyle Jenkins job? With the default settings, it doesn't infer mandatory information like sonar.projectKey, sonar.projectName, sonar.projectVersion, sonar.sources from the build.gradle file. To provide it manually for a multi-module project is painful (particularly for sonar.libraries and sonar.binaries). One could think to generate a sonar-project.properties file as part of a custom gradle task that will subsequently be used by the Standalone Sonar analysis step.
However, it seems that this a generic requirement and I feel that there might be a simpler way out in in the Jenkins-Sonar plugin. Could someone familiar with the Jenkins-Sonar Plugin shed some light on it?
System info:
Gradle 2.5
Jenkins 1.560
SonarQube 4.5
SonarQube Gradle Plugin 1.0
Sonar Runner 2.3
Jenkins Sonar Plugin 2.2
JDK 1.8
Linux 2.6
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I did not want to put the database username and password of the remote sonarqube instance in my gradle build file and hence don't want to use the existing 'sonarqube' task.
I think that you are referring to the following improvement that we want to do on the Jenkins SonarQube plugin: SONARJNKNS-217
This should come sooner or later. In the meantime, you're right, there's no easier way than what you described - unfortunately.
Is there any tool or plugin for Jenkins that would monitor pull requests in Jenkins and do a build (in my case jslint javascript files) and report to the pull request if there are any errors?
All I can find is https://bitbucket.org/osrf/bitbucket-jenkins
It's active but far from feature complete.
There is a nice plugin for this available at:
https://github.com/jenkinsci/bitbucket-pullrequest-builder-plugin
