Thank you for replying, Daniel. This is how I finally did it y'day - downloaded the HPI files of the plugins that were not being shown due to their dependency on a minimum version of Jenkins and uploaded them to Jenkins /plugins directory using the "Advanced" UI of the plugin manager. After manually installing such plugins, which were factored out of the core like "JUnit" and "Matrix project", the other plugins started to load correctly.
I couldn't update to v2.5 though, due to https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-34013, which is still open java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: hudson.model.Messages.ExternalJob_DisplayName()Ljava/lang/String; at hudson.model.ExternalJob$DescriptorImpl.getDisplayName(ExternalJob.java:120) I could update to v1650, which doesn't have the above bug and is fairly recent. I'll test my upgrade to v1650 today. Thanks again for taking time to share your inputs.
