Credentials plugin hard coded

[madAndroid]

Hi,

We set a specific version of the credentials plugin, and set that version in our profile module - I've just updated to the latest version of rtyler/jenkins and it looks as though this plugin is now being hard coded into the params.pp, which means we can no longer control this plugin via our profile module (we're getting duplication error during testing). Is there any way we can make this plugin be optional, defaulting to being installed, and then we can override it in our profile module if we need to?

Thanks in advance.

Same issue here. We install jenkins plugins with checksum and version pinned with code around rtyler/jenkins. Now with 1.7.0 credentials plugin beeing managed by rtyler/jenkins and jenkins::params::default_plugins not beeing parametrizable, every puppet run restarts Jenkins, causing long running builds to die !

(Again, I don't think this puppet module does semantic versioning right, sorry for the blame)

Workaround provided by #675
(set default_plugins = [] and manage yourself)

I've run into this myself needing to upgrade the version of credentials in an existing install. The issue is that the native types are dependent upon this plugin and the goal is for the new types to replace many of the current defined types. I'm not sure what the correct solution is.
