Problem
You want to skip building a job for a short period of time. Usually, this happens when:

• You are going to be taking some external resources that the build requires offline for maintenance and you don't want to be annoyed by all the build failure notices.
• You are merging a major feature branch and you want to prevent builds until after the merge is completed.

While you could achieve this by disabling the project from the project configure page, you would need to remember to then re-enable the project afterwards.

Solution
The Skip Next Build plugin allows you to skip building a project for a short period of time. The build automatically turns on after the elapsed time period. The plugin helps administrators ignore a lot of false negatives and save time when managing resources.
