This plugin allows for a job to publish an image generated [Packer](http://packer.io/) ## Configuration ### System Configuration At the system level this plugin supports choosing a specific installable binary to use and a (optional) [packer template](http://www.packer.io/docs/templates/introduction.html) in the form of a text or file that is located on the slave node. If utilized, jobs can share this global system-wide packer template and specify any necessary variables, which either replace or add to variables specified at the system level. Files can also be specified for items such as [x509 certs](http://www.packer.io/docs/builders/amazon-instance.html), and these files are created temporarily for the packer execution and the file location bound to the specified variable for use within a template.  ### Job Configuration At the job level this plugin can either use a global system-wide template for the chosen installation or packer template as text or a file. As our available at the system level [variables](http://www.packer.io/docs/templates/user-variables.html) and temporary files can be configured and referenced in the template. The plugin will automatically install the desired version of packer on the node.  ##### Note: this plugin requires Jenkins running under a minimum of Java 7 ## **Changelog** ### **Release 1.5 (March 20, 2018)** - [ JENKINS-49715](https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-49715) - Getting issue details...
