Failed to dynamically deploy this plugin : Jenkins

Question

I try to install the SVN Publisher for connecting Jenkins to Subversion Repository.

As I install through Download Now and Install after Restart, My Jenkins is taking so long time to restart so I tried with Install without restart.

It shows the following error

 Failure -

It looks that there has been an issue during download so that plugin file got corrupted. Shutdown Jenkins, delete C:\tomcat\webapps\.jenkins\plugins\svnpublisher.jpi, restart jenkins and reattempt plugin installation.

Alternatively download file manually and replace with one on file system, it should be available from here https://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/plugins/
