Hello,

since the update of our jenkins to version 2.214 we encounter problems when being logged in as an administrative user (using the german language requested by the browser, this ist important).

The update indicator (showing jenkins update) produces an error:

org.apache.commons.jelly.JellyTagException: jar:file:/usr/local/jenkins/jenkins-home/war/WEB-INF/lib/jenkins-core-2.214.jar!/hudson/model/UpdateCenter/CoreUpdateMonitor/message.jelly:53:20: <j:otherwise> can't parse argument number: changelog.url
{{ at org.apache.commons.jelly.impl.TagScript.handleException(TagScript.java:726)}}
{{ at org.apache.commons.jelly.impl.TagScript.run(TagScript.java:281)}}
{{ at org.apache.commons.jelly.impl.ScriptBlock.run(ScriptBlock.java:95)}}

My guess is, that the following commit is the reason for this:

https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/commit/0ba0ea93d5fc36f1ecb2183cfdbcbec1f93b33ac#diff-98cf1bef361bc3e72fed2160bf895f40

Maybe, all message properties should be changed to use "{2}" instead of "${changelog.url}" ?

The standard properties file contains the following message pattern:
{{NewVersionAvailable=<strong>New version of Jenkins ({0}) is available</strong> for <a href="{1}">download</a> }}
{{ (<a href="{2}">changelog</a>).}}

The german properties file producing the error contains the following pattern instead:

NewVersionAvailable=Eine neue Version von Jenkins ({0}) kann <a href="{1}">hier heruntergeladen</a> werden (<a href="${changelog.url}">Was ist neu?</a>).

As far as I saw there we additional files having the same pattern like the german one. Maybe they produce issues as well?

Best regards,

Heiko
