Can anybody explain the difference in behavior between these two APIs? The only thing that I can make out is that UpdateSite's dependency properties seem to mirror exactly the dependencies declared in each plugin's MANIFEST.MF file. The PluginWrapper APIs usually return more dependencies, but the nature of the "extra" dependencies returned is unclear. I thought perhaps it was transitive dependencies but tracing 2nd- and N-order dependencies of a few plugins by hand didn't seem to reflect that.
Here's an example console script: final plug = 'nodelabelparameter' println "Plugin-Plugin Dependencies for $plug:\n" println 'PluginManager/PluginWrapper' println '-' * 80 println Jenkins.instance.pluginManager.getPlugin(plug).dependencies println Jenkins.instance.pluginManager.getPlugin(plug).optionalDependencies println '\nUpdateCenter/UpdateSite.Plugin' println '-' * 80 println Jenkins.instance.updateCenter.getPlugin(plug).dependencies println Jenkins.instance.updateCenter.getPlugin(plug).optionalDependencies println '\nUpdateCenter/UpdateSite.Plugin alt' println '-' * 80 println Jenkins.instance.updateCenter.getPlugin(plug).getNeededDependencies () And output: Plugin-Plugin Dependencies for nodelabelparameter: PluginManager/PluginWrapper -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [token-macro (1.9), jquery (1.7.2-1), parameterized-trigger (2.22;resolution:=optional), matrix-auth (1.0.2), windows-slaves (1.0), antisamy-markup-formatter (1.0), matrix-project (1.0), junit (1.0)] [parameterized-trigger (2.22;resolution:=optional), matrix-auth (1.0.2), windows-slaves (1.0), antisamy-markup-formatter (1.0), matrix-project (1.0), junit (1.0)] UpdateCenter/UpdateSite.Plugin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [token-macro:1.9, jquery:1.7.2-1] [parameterized-trigger:2.22] UpdateCenter/UpdateSite.Plugin alt -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
