I think that is the base directory that holds the unpacked ("exploded")
files that are extracted from the plugin "hpi" or "jpi" files. At least
that is how I interpret the description
<https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/managing/system-properties/#hudson-pluginmanager-workdir>
.
I don't know if there is a way to control where Jenkins looks for the
plugin hpi files that it will unpack. I assume that if you placed the hpi
or jpi files in the $JENKINS_HOME/plugins directory, they would be unpacked
into that location.
