🚀 Jenkins: Explain Custom JenkinsInfoProvider for new backend system

[juu0000]

Plugin Name

jenkins-backend

🔖 Feature description

We need a way to use Custom JenkinsProvider under the new backend system of Backstage.

🎤 Context

My jenkins is set up with scm and I can clearly see the job through the api call, but the default jenkins provider doesn't seem to be able to retrieve the information properly. I need a document that describes how to use a custom jenkins provider to resolve this and how to apply it to a new backend system.

and i want to know what type of jenkins pipeline can be used to the jenkins plugin exactly.

even i don't know how to set jenkins pipeline for viewing the jenkins plugin. this also need guide docs.

yep, most likely we would need to add an extension point for configuring custom providers. Marking the issue as help wanted.
