Unable to include jenkins-build-monitor-plugin as dependency because of missing parent POM for jenkins-build-monitor

This issue is similar to #299 and JENKINS-43171.

We’re using the Job DSL plugin and Gradle Jenkins Job DSL plugin to automatically create Jenkins jobs. To generate the right XML, the Job DSL plugin uses the Jenkins plugin as dependency.

We are using Gradle to include dependencies, when we run Gradle it complains the parent POM is missing:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

This is the snippet of Gradle code where we include the plugin:

dependencies {
...
    jenkinsPlugins 'org.jenkins-ci.plugins:build-monitor-plugin:1.12+build.201708172343'
...
}

Indeed the parent POM is not in the Jenkins maven repository. Fix could be to either publish the parent POM or to refactor the plugin POM (this is suggested in JENKINS-43171). Internally we have published the plugin and parent POMs in our private maven repository.

any plans when the parent POM would be published, or when this fix would be released?
