Way to determine plugin version number from hpi/jpi file?

[Ryan Fox]

Does anyone know if there is a way to determine the version number of a plugin from just the hpi/jpi file?  I have multiple copies of a plugin, but noway to tell the specific version without having to first load them into Jenkins.

Afaik, those files are a kind of jar files, you can unzip them, and open the manifest.MF file which contains that version information and their dependencies, which is allocated in the meta-inf folder.

look at the puppet jenkins module since it uses that implementation to check whether the version is new one.

I hope it helps

That worked.  Thanks for the tip!
