Workaround

Fix

Missing Libraries

Because the base distribution does not include the normal plugins which upstream bundle, some other plugins fail due to missing libraries

openid

required commons-httpclient which is pulled in my the maven plugin build to Jenkins core.

install maven plugin.

commons-httpclient now installed in war.

Plugin Manager

had some odd behaviour in ec2 instances with limited inbound access - JSON response from update center was truncated

For some reason fixing the port that slaves use to a single port resolved this issue
