      It would be be very useful if the recommended plugins shown by the Jenkins Install Wizard could be customized without having to create a new custom build.
      e.g. by copying a JSON file into the /var/jenkin_home directory before running Jenkins for the first time.

      This would allow users/organizations to customise the Install Wizard process without having to build and compile the Jenkins source code.

      Looking at the source code, it seems that the "jenkins/core/src/main/resources/jenkins/install/platform-plugins.json" file is used to populate the plugin choices available to the user when using the Install Wizard.

      A potential approach could be to check for a "platform-plugins.json" file in /var/jenkins_home and, if it exists, use the contents of that file rather than the file contained within the .war.
