Hi, I have been having quite a bit of trouble manually installing plugin updates and would like to pose a theory. I have a system behind firewalls without internet access, it was originally created in a different environment WITH internet access and copied here.
When I download the latest plugins and copy them to Jenkins and *restart* a number fail to start with errors like: May 07, 2013 3:42:56 PM hudson.PluginManager$1$3$1 isDuplicate INFO: Ignoring D:\Jenkins\plugins\cobertura.hpi because D:\Jenkins\plugins\cobertura.jpi is already loaded I have read that when you download via the Internet the files are "my-plugin *.jpi*" but if I download them then it's "my-plugin*.hpi*" - I am downloading from http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/plugins/ For one failing plugin I deleted the existing active-directory.jpi copied over the new active-directory.hpi and voila it worked. I believe the problem is the inconsistency in the file extension is the problem. My sense of it is that people either update one way or the other but not both. I am writing up some instructions and would like to get it right. I have Googled for Africa but can't find an answer.
