Display a warning in UpdateCenter before a specific plugin update?

[Fritz Elfert]

Hi everyone,

Can I somehow display a warning in UpdateCenter which must be confirmed
before my plugin gets updated?

Background:
The old jclouds plugin used to store cloud credentials in it's own
config. The new version now finally uses jenkins credentials framework
exclusively. The upgrade process auto-migrates the config accordingly.

Of course this is an irreversible step and therefore I want to notify
admins and urge them to backup at least config.xml and credentials.xml
*before* the plugin update is started.

*If* this is possible, how do I enforce such a warning dialog?

Thanks
-Fritz

Thanks. I was hoping for a customizable message, but this must suffice
then...
