Configuring Jenkins is not as easy as one might imagine or want. There are some 1500 plugins available. Selecting the proper plugins and then configuring them is a daunting task.
Jenkins configuration as code doesn't solve the selection problem. But it does solve the problem of having a repeatable setup of Jenkins. The setup is version controlled and thus traceable.

Maven has a default behaviour that it fails a build if a test fails. Hudson and Jenkins turns this default behaviour up side down. Maven builds that fails are marked as unstable instead of failed. This behaviour may be surprising to anybody setting up a Maven build.
