My use-case for the plugin-usage-plugin is to determine which plugins can be removed without impacting jobs. As part of this, I often use it to track down which jobs must be modified before safely removing a plugin.
Job properties, such as from rebuild or throttle-concurrents, are always reported as used. I think this is because they save config in every job, whether that config is enabled or not. This is misleading, because a disabled feature can be safely removed without impacting a job.
Here is a partial example from a FreeStyleProject's config.xml:
<project> <properties> <hudson.plugins.throttleconcurrents.ThrottleJobProperty plugin="throttle-concurrents@2.0.1"> <categories class="java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList"/> <throttleEnabled>false</throttleEnabled> <throttleOption>project</throttleOption> <limitOneJobWithMatchingParams>false</limitOneJobWithMatchingParams> <paramsToUseForLimit/> <configVersion>1</configVersion> </hudson.plugins.throttleconcurrents.ThrottleJobProperty> </properties> </project>
I would only expect this to report as used if <throttleEnabled>true</throttleEnabled> were present.
