Help

The help*.html files provide context-sensitive help messages to the user. These messages are simply defined within the <div> tags and will be displayed as standard-looking tooltips within the Jenkins user interface. This approach allows you to guide your user, advise them on what they can and can't do, and explain what your plugin does and requires.

The index.jelly file provides the user with a general high-level description of what this plugin does—we will see this text being displayed as the plugin description in Jenkins when we look at the plugin in action later on.
