Dear Manuel,

thanks for your message! I've checked the Plugin Manager and indeed the 
table shown in the "Installed" tab has a column "Pinned". I read about it 
in the Jenkins help and it turns out that this is what you referring to. 
None of the plugins (including the "Translation Assistance Plugn") actually 
is pinned, though. I created - as described in the help - a file 
[jenkins]plugins\translation.hpi.pinned. And yes, now that Plugin 
Manager/Installed tabled shows the "unpin" button for the "Translation 
Assistance Plugin" (so I assume it is pinned now). Clicking it doesn't do 
much but removing the file I've created before and the unpin button is gone

Apparently, updating any of the plug-ins delivered with the package doesn't 
work for me. :-(

Now let's try to install a new plug-in:
I go to "Available" tab and select ... mmhh ... "Static Code Analysis 
Plug-ins". Download, install, restart -> OK After restarting, no new 
plugin. [jenkins]\plugin folder doesn't contain any new hpi.

Let's try it manually. URL of that plugin 
is 
http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/plugins/analysis-core/1.38/analysis-core.hpi
After uploading, [jenkins]\plugins has a new file analysis-core.jpi. Good. 
Now restart Jenkins: et voila, we have a new plugin "Static Analysis 
Utilities".

So the overall mechanism seems to work even if it doesn't directly from the 
web interface. Could live with that.

I really wonder how to update the default plugins as Jenkins overwrites 
them all the time during startup...


Regards,
Paul
