Usage

Install the plugin as usual.

Managing resources

Resource is a named entity that is defined per project. Build configurations can lock resources during execution of build steps. To create a resource, head to project configuration page. There choose 'SharedResources' tab.
Resources can have quota - maximum number of concurrent read locks. Example below shows two resources: one with quota, one without.

Managing locks

There are two types of locks supported: read locks and write locks. Read locks are shared (multiple builds with read locks are allowed), write locks are exclusive (only a single running build with a write lock is allowed).

To add a lock, head to a build stem in your build configuration, that requires locks.
Add a build feature 'Shared Resources management'
Use dialog to add necessary locks
If you want to define additional resources, you can do it in-place
