config.xml plugin syntax and getting list of plugins that a config.xml requires ?

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

Hi,

I just recently become aware of `/pluginManager/prevalidateConfig` which can let me upload a config.xml and have jenkins automatically install any missing plugins.

In that context I got two questions:

1) is there a way to specify in config.xml I just want the latest version of the plugin installed ? I tried plugin="downstream-ext@latest" but that did not seem to work reliably

2) is there a way to have prevalidateConfig (or some other url) just list all the plugins it needs ?


p.s. reason for #1 is that I'm trying to add support to jenkins-job-builder to explicitly list the plugin it needs but here I really prefer not to set the exact plugin version.
