Hi,

Would be nice to expose the data.hasCoreUpdates() property in the UpdateSite bean.

This way it would be possible to access the value through the JSON document returned by the updateCenter/coreSource/api/json endpoint.

This could prove to be handy for Jenkins management scenario

I believe this should be pretty straightforward and as simple as adding the following lines to core/src/main/java/hudson/model/UpdateSite.java
 

@ExportedBean
public class UpdateSite {
   :
   :
     /**
      * Is there any core update available?
      */
     @Exported
     public boolean hasCoreUpdates() {
          Data data = getData();
          return data != null && data.hasCoreUpdates();
     }
  :
  ;
} 

Comments ?
