[Martin Ba]

Hi all!

I was considering taking a look at the free Folders Plugin from
Cloudbees, but reading a piece back from 2013 I'm a bit scared:

Is it still true with current Jenkins releases that Folders make trouble
with many/some/a few plugins? (I'm on 1.625.2 LTS + potentially Folders
5.1 (Nov/2015).

Most plugins have been fixed to support folders, few remain incompatible

I'm not sure there's an up-to-date list of incompatible plugins

Most plugins have adapted already. We made the plugin open source to allow plugin authors to integrate more easily. There may be a few on the 1000+ plugins that have issues, but by now it should be easy to fix them and plugin authors will want to fix anyway to integrate with eg multi-branch project types and organisation folder project types
