Jenkins plugin: How to access other descriptor - plugins

I'm wondering if it is possible to access an other descriptor from a jelly file (global.jelly)?
The only way to fill data into a textbox, for example, is to use the DescriptorImpl, which is mounted in jelly to descriptor:
<f:textbox default="${descriptor.getName()}" />
But do I need data from another plugin? Is it possible to access this data from a jelly file who doesn't belong to this plugin?

get asset properties on htl page with asset path without using backend service in crx

I have an asset path, which contains an asset, which I want to display in the UI. I can display the image using the path. But I want to display asset properties like title and other metadata which are present in jcr:content under that asset path.
One way I'm aware of is to use backend service and adapt to the asset and fetch those properties and send it to html file. Is there any way I can directly fetch those details in html file itself without having to use backend service.
note: asset number can be very high, would it better to use the service itself.
It's best to use the (backend service) Asset APIs but you could also hack your way with just HTL if you know exactly the JCR node and property. data-sly-use allows specifying a JCR path to return the org.apache.sling.api.resource.Resource:
<sly data-sly-use.myImg="/content/dam/core-components-examples/library/adobe-logo.svg/jcr:content/metadata">${myImg.valueMap['dc:title']}</sly>
Example for asset title.
${item.metadata['dc:title']}

How to Connect CloverETL to Google Cloud Storage?

I am using CloverETL Designer for ETL operations and I want to load some csv files from GCS to my Clover graph. I used FlatFileReader and tried to get file using remote File URL but it is not working. Can someone please detail the entire process here??
The path for file in GCS is
https://storage.cloud.google.com/PATH/Write_to_a_file.csv
And I need to get this csv file into the FlatFileReader in CloverETL Designer
You should use the Google Cloud Storage API to GET the file; Clover's HTTPConnector component will allow you to pass in the appropriate parameters to make a GET request (you will presumably have to do an OAuth2 authentication first to get a token), and send the output to a local destination specified in "Output File URL." Then you can use a FlatFileReader to read from that local file.
GCS has several different ways to download files from your buckets. You can use the console and the Cloud Storage browser. Steps: open the storage browser, navigate to the object you want to download, right click, and save to your chosen local folder. If you use Chrome the save appears as “Save Link As…”.
To use the GS Utility, use this command:
`gsutil cp gs://[BucketName]/[ObjectName] [ObjectDestination]`.
Or you can use client libraries or the REST APIs to download files. With these last options you could work with a number of files or create a job to download them. Once they are in a location known to Clover ETL the process is straightforward.
Within Clover designer, under the navigation pane you can right click a folder and choose import. Pick the one in which you placed your GCS file. Once the file is imported then you can use data from it like any other datafile in Clover. Since this is a .csv file, remember to edit your metadata (right click the component, choose extract metadata then edit inside the Metadata Editor -- for data types, labels and such.) Assign metadata to the edges of your components so they know what is coming in/going out of that step. Depending on your file, this process may be repeated many times.
Even with an ETL tool, getting the data and data types correct can be tricky. If you have questions about how to configure data types or your edges in an ETL project, a wiki may help. The web has additional resources may help you get the end analysis you’re looking for.

Store and Use Configuaration values in Alfresco Share

I have a custom developed share dashlet that has hardcoded values in use (For example the name of a Workspace to use as a default).
I would rather have the values placed into a configuration file and have the dashlet read the fileup at server start and work from there. I have two questions:
Which file can I use and where can I place the file?
How can I get the share dashlet to read the file contents and load the data into local variables?
I would advise you to leverage the PreferenceService, which can be accessed from a Share Web Script by consuming the following API exposed by the repository:
GET /cms-repository-5.0.0/service/api/people/{userid}/preferences?pf={preferencefilter?}
POST /cms-repository-5.0.0/service/api/people/{userid}/preferences?pf={preferencefilter?}
DELETE /cms-repository-5.0.0/service/api/people/{userid}/preferences?pf={preferencefilter?}
In this way you will probably need to define some hard coded meaningful defaults, then let the user customize his experience and store the customized settings as user preferences.

Is it possible to add custom info to manifest file used to distribute iPhone enterprise applications?

I am creating an application that will be distributed using the iOS Enterprise Program. I know I'll need to create a manifest file that will be used to download and install the application. What I want is to add some custom info within the manifest file and read this info in the installed application. Does anyone know if this is possible and how can I do that?
Thanks
If by 'manifest file' you mean the .plist defining the IPA url etc. then yes, you can add your own custom key/value pairs. It's just a standard plist format which you can edit like any other, and additional key/value pairs will be ignored by the Over The Air distribution mechanism.
If you want to read these values from the application itself, the app will have to download the .plist again itself and parse out the values.

Launching a GWT module when clicking on an XML

Greetings,
I'm looking for a way to launch a GWT module when a user clicks on an XML file and have the module consume the xml data. Ideally I would like to render the XML in a rich manner and would prefer to use GWT controls instead of having to lay it out by hand via xslt + javascript.
I'm supposing one way would be to point the xml to a well known xslt that creates a simple html page that forces a redirect to the gwt module but how would I transfer the xml data to said module to allow for enhanced formatting?
Another way would be to have the process that produces the xml also include the bootstrap gwt module but it would be creating multiple bootstrap instances over time and pollute the user's directory.
The use case is that a user would run this app on their local machine which outputs an XML file. If they try and view the xml file in a browser, I'd like to have the GWT module take over and present the data accordingly. I would rather they not have to go to a page and upload the data manually.
Appreciate any ideas on the matter.
TIA
If it's something that runs on the user's machine, I would recommend to ship an executable, or generate a parallel HTML file to present the data. JavaScript run from file:/// will not be able to acces the filesystem.
