I am a new java developer trying to learn Jenkins for integration testing. My project is a simple Spring MVC application. I am using eclipse for building the project. I am Not using Ant/Maven etc.
I watched few youtube videos to understand integration testing using Jenkins but it is still not clear to me. So far, I can configure Jenkins to get the source code from GitHub. In Build step, Jenkins is asking for Shell script / Ant / Maven targets. I cant understand this part.
Do I must need Ant or Maven to build Java based projects in Jenkins?
Please explain the procedure step by step. Thanks.
