DropDown ViewsTabBar Plugin

This plugin provides an alternate rendering of the Views bar which runs along the top of all views. This plugin is useful for instances which have a very large number of views and want a compact rendering.

To use the DropDown ViewsTabBar go to Manage Jenkins > Configure System, select it in the Views Tab Bar drop down box and save the configuration.

Some users report performance problems with this plugin enabled under the following conditions: Nested Views Plugin enabled, many Views created, those Views use complex regex in order to filter jobs, and this plugin configured to show job counts (configurable in System Configuration page).
