This is a draft pull request which explores ways to split the plugin to two ones.
Promotion's Permission entities look to be a major showstopper on this way, but just in case.Research summary:
Promotionis unsolvable knot if we want to retain binary compatibilityPromotionclass has to be in promotion APIPromotionis also a persisted object on the disk. We could use XStream features to rename the class and move all run entries. It would split the class to two... somehowPromotionandPromotionProcessare a part of the API used by other plugins. Class Renaming will not help unless full interface is retained. It includes fields, and hence it has to be class inheritance. Hence we have to keeppublic abstract class PromotionProcess extends AbstractProject<PromotionProcess,Promotion> implements Saveable, Describable<PromotionProcess>in promotion API with class relocationAbstractClass#getBuildClass()requires an exact class. And this is the end of the story for us, because the template declaresPromotionProcess, and hence splitting classes is not possible.So it is not possible to retain binary compatibility and to avoid pbreaking changes, at least without sophisticated Jenkins core patches.
