As part of DevOps Foresight, a utility procedure is added in the CloudBees project, out of the box, to aide in plugin setup. These procedures are available from CloudBees CD via the Platform/projects page in the Automation Platform web UI: browse to https://<cloudbees-flow-server>/commander/, and then click Administration > Platform/projects. For more information about them see the CloudBees CD User Guide.
