Current Functionality

The tool currently accepts a list of plugins via command line input or through a file containing one plugin per line.

Enhanced Metadata Collection

We have been accumulating increasingly comprehensive metadata about plugins, including:

  • Health scores
  • Number of installations
  • Other relevant metrics

Proposed Feature

To leverage this rich metadata, we suggest implementing either:

  1. A specific recipe, or
  2. A separate command-line tool

This new functionality would:

  1. Accept a list of plugins as input
  2. Fetch the corresponding metadata for each plugin
  3. Sort the plugin file based on the gathered metadata

Primary Sorting Criterion

The initial implementation would sort plugins by the number of installations, with the most installed plugins appearing first.

Benefits

  • Prioritize updates for widely-used plugins
  • Facilitate more informed decision-making in plugin management
  • Streamline the plugin update process

Next Steps

  1. Assess the feasibility of implementation
  2. Determine whether to integrate as a recipe or develop as a standalone tool
  3. Define additional sorting criteria for future iterations

We welcome feedback and suggestions on this proposal to enhance our plugin management capabilities.

Sort plugins by installations
78e2de1 
Fixes #37

Add functionality to sort plugins by the number of installations.

* Add a new command-line option `--sort-by-installations` in `plugin-modernizer-cli/src/main/java/io/jenkins/tools/pluginmodernizer/cli/Main.java` to enable sorting of plugins by the number of installations.
* Implement a method `sortPluginsByInstallations` in `Main.java` to sort the plugins by the number of installations.
* Update the `run` method in `Main.java` to call the `sortPluginsByInstallations` method if the `--sort-by-installations` option is provided.
* Add a test method `testSortPluginsByInstallations` in `plugin-modernizer-cli/src/test/java/io/jenkins/tools/pluginmodernizer/cli/MainTest.java` to verify the sorting functionality.
