      Hi Team,

      I have build a plugin in Jenkins for automated deployment to DataPower. I developed the plugin using the below environment.
      Jenkins ver. 1.631
      Windows 7
      Firefox 38.4
      JDK 1.8
      Maven 3.3.3

      Now I an trying to install the plugin in below environment.
      Jenkins ver. 1.629
      Mac 10.10.5
      Firefox 38.4
      JDK 1.8
      Maven 3.3.3

      The plugin get installed, but while I try to add the details in the plugin, like DataPower URL, user credential e.t.c and save it, Jenkins give the below error:

      A problem occurred while processing the request. Please check our bug tracker to see if a similar problem has already been reported.

          Hi,

          Jenkins plugins are not designed for such use-case.
          If you want to use the plugin on 1.629, the best way is to update the core specification in your plugin's POM file.
          It's possible to manually install the plugin on your own risk, but it's not a recommended practice.

          BTW it's a bug in your plugin from what I see:

          I recommend to debug your plugin and to see what happens there.
          I doubt it's a Jenkins issue.

          If you publish the source codes somewhere like GitHub, I can check what happens there

          If it is a problem with the plugin, then it should fail everywhere.
          It runs perfectly in Jenkins ver. 1.631. Really wired why it is not running in Jenkins ver. 1.629.

          In your code logStream is not being initialized from what I see.
          Closing the issue as it's not related to Jenkins open-source plugins
