How to write the simplest Hudson/Jenkins plugin?

Question

I have an executable with unit tests (my custom framework) and I want to run it after each build using Hudson.

I would expect to register my exe as a Hudson step and make sure it produces the correct report format.

So far all tutorials I have found seem like overkilling with all the configuration files and interfaces. I'll go that path if I need - but what's the simplest way to achieve what I want? I'm looking for a good link with a "template" that I can adjust for my needs.

Why do you need to write a plugin to do this. You can achieve this with a post build step. Can you explain what you are trying to do exactly. — Mahdi Yusuf, Jul 24 '11 at 23:13
Thanks - that's what I finally did - a post build step that runs my tests and generates JUnit output format — Yaron Naveh, Jul 25 '11 at 10:08

I think that creating an app for this is overkill, you could probably do a post build step that runs and generates junit output format.

Goodluck.
