Plugins not loading

[Nef Rey]

I have un-installed and re-installed Jenkins twice from scratch.

I installed the MSBuild plugin and some others and Jenkins shows them as installed.  The Jenkins service is restarted, but the plugins do not appear in System Configuration.

Tried a reboot of the system and nothing.  This is Jenkins 2.36.

Has anyone had this problem.  I've ran out of options.

I doubt this will have any affect on your specific problem, but you may want to use the long term support release of Jenkins, instead of the weekly release that you chose.  The weekly release is on the cutting edge, so sometimes there are problems which don't appear in the long term support release.

Refer to https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/LTS+Release+Line for a description of the long term support release line, and https://jenkins.io/ for the download links to the long term support release.

This turned out to be a lack of documentation or bad documentation  everywhere.  In newer versions of Jenkins the adding of the plugin information is in the Global Tool Configuration.  After wasting hours or research finally someone in google pointed that out.  I was following information that is obsolete.

Thanks anyway.

Feel free to improve the documentation.  If you couldn't find what you needed, you can help the community by improving the documentation in that area where you found it weak.
