proper user and group configuration for eclipse android jenkins

by

On ubuntu 10.0.4
Did sudo su
Then installed eclipse in /root/eclipse (only wget and unzip, no apt-get)
Then installed android sdk in /root/android-sdk-linux_x86 (only wget and unzip, no apt-get)
Run with gksudo /root/eclipse/eclipse &
No issues. Development working fine.

Then installed jenkins in /var/lib/jenkins (using apt-get)

Issue:
Now when I use jenkins “Execute shell” option and call shell scripts,
I get permissions issues like for example:
/root/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools/android: Permission denied
Cannot find /root/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools/ant/pre_setup.xml

How do I configure users and groups in this kind of scenario,
so that I can run scripts from jenkins (running as the jenkins user) ?

Answer

install everything into jenkins’s home directory instead of root.
