This plugin is to manage update sites, where Jenkins accesses in order
to retrieve plugins.

## What's this?

Sites where Jenkins finds and downloads new plugins, which are called
update sites, are listed in hudson.model.UpdateCenter.xml.  
This plugin enables you to manage update sites in the Jenkins
configuration page with web browsers.  
Following features are available:

-   "Manage UpdateSites" link is added to "Manage Jenkins" page.
-   You can list, add, edit, or delete an update site registered with
    Jenkins.
-   When adding a new update site, you specify following fields:
    -   Disable this site
        -   Check if you want to disable the update site temporary.
    -   ID
        -   The ID of the update site. Value to specify here is
            specified by the update site.
    -   URL
        -   The URL of the update site. Usually, the URL to
            update-center.json.
    -   Note
        -   A note. It is not used by Jenkins, and you can note anything
            here.
    -   CA Certificate
        -   CA Certificate for this site. This is useful for a update
            site which is signed with a self-signed certificate.

    -   You can easily register an update site using a self-signed
        certificate by specifying CA cetificate for that site.

## Limitations

-   Following update sites are listed in "Manage UpdateSites" page, but
    cannot be edited nor deleted.
    -   Default update site (its ID is "default"). This can be
        configured in "Manage Plugins" page.
    -   Update sites provided by other plugins. These plugins must
        provide their own configuration pages for their update sites.

## TODO

-   Create a menu icon.
