      Enhanced Old Build Discarder plugin 1.4

      When setting 

      buildDiscarder([$class: 'EnhancedOldBuildDiscarder', artifactDaysToKeepStr: '',
                                                     artifactNumToKeepStr: '',
                                                     daysToKeepStr: '7',
                                                     numToKeepStr: '',
                                                     discardOnlyOnSuccess: false,
                                                     holdMaxBuilds: false]),

      in properties, the build is not removed after 7 days if there is only one build remaining.
      The documentation for "Days to keep builds" states:

      if not empty, build records are only kept up to this number of days

      so I would assume that the build should be discarded even if it is the last remaining build.

          I also tried

          buildDiscarder([$class: 'EnhancedOldBuildDiscarder', artifactDaysToKeepStr: '',
                                                     artifactNumToKeepStr: '',
                                                     daysToKeepStr: '1',
                                                     numToKeepStr: '0',
                                                     discardOnlyOnSuccess: false,
                                                     holdMaxBuilds: true]),

          The help explicitly states:

          Setting Max # of builds to keep to 0 causes any build exceeding the age limit to be discarded.

          But the latest build will still remain.

          In the Jenkins log there is an entry:

          job #2 is not to be removed or purged of artifacts because it’s the last successful build
