I understand your point. Out of curiosity, what's your current Jenkins version?
The plugin was created following the good practices that suggested 2.479 LTS as a good baseline; all the other dependencies come from this baseline 😊
And the guys reviewing the plugin for hosting asked me to use jackson-2 for CSV generation (otherwise I'd have to use another third party dependency not provided by the baseline), which makes sense. But it comes at a price being that the plugin requires this baseline now. Hopefully it won't prove to be problematic for you to update!

The plugin is well-structured and powerful, providing great automation capabilities for IBM i users. I tried it on my jenkins but it failed due to unmet dependencies. I will update my jenkins and other plugins and will re-try.

- Jenkins version 2.479.1 or higher required (I'm on an older version).
- Credentials Plugin needs to be updated to 1408.va_622a_b_f5b_1b_1 or higher.
- Jackson 2 API Plugin needs to be updated to 2.18.3-402.v74c4eb_f122b_2 or higher.
- Pipeline: Step API Plugin needs to be updated to 686.v603d058a_e148 or higher.
It would be helpful if possible, reduce strict dependency requirements, or make the plugin work with slightly older versions of jenkins and common plugins.
Thanks for the great work on this plugin!

Hi everyone,
I've been working on a Jenkins plugin that adds IBM i Pipeline steps.
It's been accepted on jenkins.io and released today: IBM i Pipeline Steps
| IBM i Pipeline Steps | remove preview |
| | IBM i Pipeline Steps | | A plugin providing IBM i oriented pipeline steps such as command execution, Db2 queries execution or Save Files transfer. | | View this on IBM i Pipeline Steps > |
|
|
Hopefully it's going to be helpful and allow shops to integrate their IBM i in a CI/CD pipeline.
