[Jenkins](https://jenkins.io/) plugin for [Visual Basic 6](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh127509.aspx) builder

Automating a build of a Visual Basic 6 has some challenges. This plugin aims to workaround some of these issues. 

# Usage
In Jenkins Configure System, section VB6 Builder, set the VB6.exe path.

In a [declarative pipeline](https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/syntax/#declarative-pipeline) use:
```
pipeline {
  agent any

  stages {
    stage('build') {
      steps {
        vb6 'Project1.vbp'
      }
    }
  }
}
```
