Provision Hudson Slave Nodes with Fog (formerly hello world in ruby)

This hudson plugin will allow you to spin up hudson slave nodes on-demand using the Fog ruby library.

It addresses my immediate need for a cloud plugin that I can maintain, but it also serves as a template / proving ground for authoring hudson plugins in ruby.

Hacking

to run, you need a the plugin development maven setup. To summarize, add the following to ~/.m2/settings.xml

<settings>
  <pluginGroups>
    <pluginGroup>org.jvnet.hudson.tools</pluginGroup>
  </pluginGroups>
</settings>

check it out and run it:

git clone git://github.com/cowboyd/fog.hpi.git
cd fog.hpi
mvn hpi:run
