Zac Campbell commented on JENKINS-10947:
----------------------------------------
I second the feature to automatically install plugins during the install.
I've been trialling this plugin and having to install the plugins manually is a
pain but I have some experiences to share with other users.
The most difficult part is that the string saved in installedPlugins.xml
(//plugins/entry/string) does not represent the plugin name in the Jenkins
Plugin manager. You have to correlate the name between this field and the
Plugin ID on the plugin's page.
(As an aside the name in the Available plugins changes to a different field
when it becomes listed in Installed plugins too)
I have however ascertained that you can restore your backed up config, install
the plugins (via the Plugin Manager) and the job will retain the backed up
settings provided the job has not modified and saved inbetween those two steps.
