How to Build & Deploy a Java Web Application using Team Services and Azure

This post details how to integrate Jenkins with Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) for CI/CD pipelines. It explains two primary integration methods: using web hooks to trigger Jenkins builds from VSTS events (like code pushes) and using a VSTS build task to trigger remote Jenkins jobs, providing real-time build output and feedback within the VSTS interface. The post also highlights the ability to pull build artifacts (e.g., .war files) and test/code coverage files from Jenkins into the VSTS build system for deployment and reporting.
