Integration with Jenkins CI

[aackerman]

There shouldn't be any issue with integrating this plugin with a Jenkins CI build.

The plugin is expected to error in the presence of circular dependencies with respect to the plugin configuration options, and that should cause webpack to fail and the build to fail.

Thank you @aackerman for the reply. I believe that configuring this plugin with in webpack.dev.config.js file will make it available to Jenkins CI build(similar to other plugins). By the way, we are going to apply warnings instead errors using the options.

Two more questions,

1. Are there any future plans for visualization images similar to madge npm utitlity.
2. Can we exclude certain circular dependencies. For example, exclude the circular dependencies caused by global router(or any text pattern).

1. There are no current plans to include visualization, I think other projects handle visualizing webpack much better than I could.
2. Yes, you can provide the exclude option with a RegExp to define which files to exclude, it's common to exclude node_modules. The README has a good example.
