Jenkins environment variables

I am a novice to Jenkins administration, trying to help a friend set up Jenkins for his startup.

I know there are plugins in Jenkins but not quite familiar on how to achieve his requirements.

He has a spring application which uses dispatcher.xml to reference jdbc.properties (one for each environment eg: jdbc_dev, jdbc_test, jdbc_prod.

How do I setup environment variables in Jenkins so the respective jdbc.properties is picked when the war file is built ?

I think following plugins will help your friend a lot.

1) EnvInject Plugin:- To inject environment variables depending on the requirements.

2) Role strategy :- To manage authorization and permissions of various users. For eg: Admin,Tester,Developer,guest.

For more info on configuration on this plugin read this Answer

3) JobConfigHistory Plugin:- To revert changes if you screw anything.

Hope it helps.

See Parameterized Build:

Sometimes, it is useful/necessary to have your builds take several "parameters".

...

The parameters are available as environment parameters variables. So e.g. a shell ($FOO, %FOO%) or Ant (${env.FOO}) can access these values.

[Corrections by me.]

See also the Matrix Project Plugin:

A multi-configuration project is useful for instances where your builds will make many similar build steps, and you would otherwise be duplicating steps.
