Hi,

I would like to change "Remote File Plugin"  to more understandable name like "Multibranch Remote Jenkinsfile Plugin".

- It this name okay to use ?
- How can I do that ?

Thanks.

change the 'name' element in pom.xml.

you will also need to change any references you have in the plugin (index.jelly for example).

just don't change the artifactId as this will make it a new plugin.

Are you only interested in the name that shows up in the Plugin Manager changing? If so, you should just be able to change the <name></name> tag in your pom.xml to the new name and do a new release. The name would be updated in the update center from the next release.

Wiki is slowly going away. Most things will be populated from pom file though.

I would take the opportunity to make sure your documentation (url in pom) is pointed at github so you can make changes as needed.

Once the plugin documentation is migrated to GitHub, we can add a redirect on the Jenkins Infra side. After that the Wiki page will be gone forever from the user perspective.

Another thing we could do it to whitelist more GitHub topics so that Plugin site and plugin manager show the plugin in proper categories. Right now https://plugins.jenkins.io/remote-file/ shows only "pipeline". We could even add a special label for WorkflowBranchProjectFactory implementations.

BR, Oleg

All the plugins that had wiki as the <url> when I did the first migration, should already have a redirect in place.

For whatever reason remote-file wasn't included in the batch. Was url set wrong? or was it blacklisted or something?

Either way I included it in my new batch - https://github.com/jenkins-infra/jenkins-infra/pull/1456

Thanks for the all responses. Again I would like to get opinions about the name of the plugin. I received some feedback from users where they addresses that name of the plugin do no reflect what it does.

I know we can not use some special words in name, just wondering, can "Remote Pipeline File" or "External Pipeline File"  be used ?
