Extensions using Jenkins library about ablec HOT 5 CLOSED

I've posted a start. The functions can be found here:

https://github.com/melt-umn/jenkins-lib/blob/master/vars/melt.groovy

The repo otherwise just a README at the moment, basically.

I haven't started using/testing these yet. Next week. I thought I'd just invite any public comments on what I have there so far. (I'm in the middle of trying to figure out how to make doesJobExist actually work, without just causing security exceptions, but other than that, there's a few things there.)

My plan right now is to get copper, silver and ablec using these. Then add maybe a ablec.groovy next to melt.groovy, and start factoring out what AbleC extensions do there, starting with just skeleton.

This would be useful, for sure. Updating these Jenkinsfiles can get ugly...
Another note if we are going to be refactoring these: Some extensions depend on others, so changes in one could cause others to fail. We may want to have extensions that are depended on by others build some of these dependant extensions, similar to how the ableC Jenkinsfile builds other extensions as well.

This sounds good to me. @tedinski do you want to get started on this?

Done. All the extensions are using a shared library now. Even ableC_sample_projects re-uses a lot of code.
