[IMPORTANT] plugins deprecation for Digester removal

[Baptiste Mathus]

Hi all,

We are about to remove a very old version of a library provided by Jenkins Core: commons-digester:2.1.

In practice, when we do this, this will make the following plugins unusable starting with the weekly and future LTS.

The plugins are :

• emma,
• cloverphp, 
• vs-code-metrics, 
• BlameSubversion, 
• javatest-report, 
• vss, 
• genexus, 
• synergy, 
• config-rotator, 
• harvest, 
• cmvc 

What can you do if you use one of the plugins above?

• Say so in this thread. 
• Preferably be ready to step up as maintainer. These plugins are de-facto long abandoned, some for 5+ years, and hence anyway they're already runtime risks in your instances.

Thank you!

Thanks to Baptiste for bringing it up explicitly! Many plugins from the list can be fixed, and there are already pull requests created by Adrien Lecharpentier and Carroll Chiou. It would be great to help them landed, but many plugins are effectively abandoned. I highly recommend that the pull request authors ping maintainers about putting the plugin for adoption.

From the list, I am particularly concerned about Code Coverage plugins which seemed to be actively used. If we could get their releases out, it would be awesome

Which "code coverage" plugin are you referring to, to be sure?

Emma & cloverphp?
