Initializing Jenkins 2.0 with pipeline in init.groovy.d script

Question

For automation, I would like to initialize a Jenkins 2.0 instance with a pipeline job. I want to create a Groovy script that is copied to the /usr/share/jenkins/ref/init.g

With Job DSL 1.47 (to be released soon) you can use the Job DSL API directly from the init script without the need to create a seed job.

import javaposse.jobdsl.dsl.DslScriptLoader
import javaposse.jobdsl.plugin.JenkinsJobManagement

def jobDslScript = new File('jobs.groovy')
def workspace = new File('.')

def jobManagement = new JenkinsJobManagement(System.out, [:], workspace)

new DslScriptLoader(jobManagement).runScript(jobDslScript.text)

See PR #837 for details.
