Hello,

Jenkins 2.x comes with a configuration step to install plugins.
Is there a bundled version of Jenkins 2.x with recommanded set of plugins available or is there a way to automatically install these plugins through command line?

Thanks,
Christophe

See https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Plugins#Plugins-Byhand for information on how to install plugins manually.

You're evil, I like it ;-)

There's basically no way someone unfamiliar with plugin dependencies gets them right without a lot of trial & error.

Thanks for the answser but indeed, the problem is to deal with plugins dependencies.
I would like
- either a way to  say jenkins to do not show the configuration step and download recommanded set of plugins
- or a way to install a set of plugins and their dependencies from command-line

Depending on your possibilities, Docker might definitely be the way to go. 
Very easy to add the plugins you wish to the official image, create the necessary files to get past upgrade notices and so on.

See https://hub.docker.com/_/jenkins/

The /only/ difficulty might be to create a correct plugins.txt by hand. But for that, you might just hand to run a temporary instance, install the support core plugin, install the plugins you want, then generate a support bundles that will actually contain that content in the right format (it's officially the same format).

HTH.
