What is a primitive in JTE?
In JTE, primitives are constructs leveraged largely for syntactic sugar to make pipeline templates more reader friendly.
JTE provides several primitives by default and it is possible to extend the Jenkins Templating Engine plugin with your own plugin providing additional primitives.
