installing the plugin lead to many uneeded plugins

XMLWordPrintable

      When installing the plugin in a clean instance many other uneeded plugins are also pulled in as they are detached since the jenkins version that the plugin targets. (or some plugins are not using optional extensions and pulling in the kitchen sink)

      These are likely due to transitive deps on plugins, but there is no need at all to ever install PAM auth, or windows agents without an explicit opt in (Javadoc and ANT are also not reallyneeded).

       

      It may also be possible to make some of the requirements for the code to be optional given that if you are using pipeline for the splitTests you do not even have/need any maven jobs)

          The worst is parameterized-trigger. I am tempted to just remove the original freestyle project support, which is quite a mess.

          https://github.com/jenkinsci/parameterized-trigger-plugin/pull/245 should help some.

          I started Jenkins 2.414.3 and chose to install no plugins through the setup wizard, then installed only the parallel test executor plugin.

          The list of plugins installed by the most recent release (418.v24f9a_141d726) of the parallel test executor plugin no longer includes:

          • Javadoc plugin
          • Maven Integration plugin
          • WMI Windows Agents Plugin
          • Ant plugin
          • Matrix Authorization Strategy Plugin
          • PAM Authentication plugin

          It does still include:

          • Parameterized Trigger plugin

          That removes all the items from the original list except the Parameterized Trigger plugin. Is that enough to close the issue?

          Yes I think. The parameterized-trigger dep is direct, because this is used for the (obsolete and basically untested) freestyle project integration.
