This plugin allows users to add labels dynamically to every node with a specific tool installation so that a job can restrict the nodes where it runs by their tool locations.
Example use case
Assuming you have nodes A, B, and C, and Java 6 JDK is installed only on
A and B for some reasons, you would add JDK Java 6 in the System
Configurations and its tool locations in the Node Configurations of A
and B.
Then, if you add label jdk1.6 to JDK Java 6 with this plugin in the
System Configurations, it will be added dynamically to A and B, and a
job can restrict the nodes where it runs to them by using label
jdk1.6.
If you would later remove the tool location of JDK Java 6 from B,
label jdk1.6 would disappear from the node, too. You no longer need to
manually manage labels for tool installations on your nodes.
