First, as said above, use http://host/threadDump to display locks in Jenkins.

Then, adding "Waiting / Blocked on" information in the textual thread dump [1] is currently not a high priority for javamelody (used in the monitoring plugin), because:

  • Having lock issues in a webapp, such as Jenkins, is a critical issue.
  • So, I think personnally that developers using synchronized / locks are supposed to know what they are doing or otherwise to use lock-free patterns: it's much better to not have lock issues than to fight a critical fire with just a report of locks in a thread dump.
  • In the worst case, those developers are supposed to know and recommend tools like jstack, or http://host/threadDump in Jenkins.
    That said, the plugin displays the names of the deadlocked threads, when needed.
