Scripted Jenkins Plugins install

Jenkins has a very rich catalog of plugins and it's quite easy to install and update them via UI. BTW, when you want to add tons of plugin via UI, it's a fairly long and boring procedure.

Hopefully, mass installation (or update) could be easy using a simple bash script (curl/python required) :

Create a file containing plugins to be installed (or updated), ie iplugins :

micw

#!/bin/bash

set -e

if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
  echo "USAGE: $0 plugin1 plugin2 ..."
  exit 1
fi

plugin_dir=/var/lib/jenkins/plugins
