 | Please read the general information about External Update Agents before any Teamcity specific documentation. |
General information
The plugin integrates automatic open source management with Jetbrains TeamCity.
Once set up, all usage of open source software in the organization will be continuously and automatically in sync with White Source.
- New projects will be created
- Existing projects will be updated
- Policies will be enforced on every action, failing the build if necessary.
 | The plugin currently support projects built using maven, ant, and shell scripts. |
The plugin is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license. Source code and issues are hosted on github .
How it works
On execution, the plugin will determine which open source is currently used by your project and send it to White Source.
 | No source code is scanned. Only descriptive information is sent over the wire. |
Normal flow
White Source uses the collected information to create new projects or update existing ones.
Policy check flow
The plugin will check each new library against the organizational policies. If any library should be automatically rejected by some policy the build will fail. Otherwise your account will be updated.
An informative report of the results will be generated regardless of the outcome.
