We should record some information about the folder that the plugins were extracted to. Currently the md5 values of the plugins are recorded, but no information relating to the extraction is recorded. This can sometimes be the cause of Jenkins failing to start.
+1, definitely. That would be much valuable. For example, we recently had a case, where we think the WEB-INF/lib/classes.jar uncompressed part of the openid plugin was corrupted.
With that additional information, we would have been immediately able to check its checksum against the expected one for the plugin version (information we do have) and see if that could be the culprit, and be quicker to resolve the issue.
