Visibility of the most important PluginWrapper @Exported getters should be increased to not serve something like the following by default: { "plugins" :[{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{}]} --- Originally reported by berlincount , imported from: /pluginManager/api/json largely useless status : Open priority : Minor component(s) : core label(s) : newbie-friendly resolution : Unresolved votes : 0 watchers : 2 imported : 2025-11-24 Raw content of original issue Visibility of the most important PluginWrapper @Exported getters should be increased to not serve something like the following by default: { "plugins" :[{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{}]}

Tech stack: java

Issue type: feature
Difficulty: 3
Estimated time: half day
Activity status: stale
Clarity: mostly clear
Prerequisites: JavaJenkins plugin APIREST API principles
Newbie friendliness: 60
Research direction: The issue requests increasing visibility of PluginWrapper's @Exported getters so that the /pluginManager/api/json endpoint returns meaningful data instead of empty objects. Look at the PluginWrapper class in the Jenkins core repository (e.g., `core/src/main/java/hudson/PluginWrapper.java`) to identify which getters are missing @Exported annotations or have insufficient visibility. Ensure that the JSON output includes fields like `longName`, `version`, etc. Check any existing comments for additional context or suggested getters.
