IBM UrbanCode Release integrates with other products, including IBM UrbanCode Deploy, IBM Rational® Team Concert, and JIRA. IBM UrbanCode Release also supports a plug-in framework, which you can use to create plug-ins that support integrations with other products. For example, you can create plug-ins that create reports, import changes from source-code management systems, or import events from external calendars. For information about specific plug-ins, see IBM developerWorks®: UrbanCode Release Plug-ins.
Plug-ins consist of distinct processes called steps. Each step consists of a number of properties, a command that runs the step, and post-processing instructions. Step properties can serve various purposes, from providing input to the command to supplying some or all of the actual command itself. Plug-ins can be written in the Java or Groovy programming languages or in shell or Windows PowerShell commands. When you install IBM UrbanCode Release, Groovy is installed in the UCRelease/groovy/ directory.
