Send notifications on build start

[gummiboll]

Hello

This plugin only sends notifications to mqtt when the build has run(?), would it be possible to get it to send notifications when builds are started too?

Hi @gummiboll, you are correct that the main class for this plugin extends the hudson.tasks.Notifier class, which runs only after the build is completed.

It's been a while since I looked into Jenkins plugin development so I'm not currently sure of the best way to send a notification on build start, but perhaps it can be done by extending hudson.tasks.BuildWrapper.

I'll have a look at some other plugins to see what they do. Or feel free to send a PR that I can merge in!

Great! The slack notification plugin is probably a good place to start since it has multiple options on when to send notifications.

If I had, any at all, java experience I would definitely just make a PR instead of a issue :D
