jenkins script console: list of available jenkins methods?

Question

I would like to use the jenkins script console some more.

Where do I have to look in order to find a list of available Objects/Methods that I can use via groovy? Is there something online? Should I browse the source on Github? Where would I start?

Like in this example, how would I have known that hudson.model.Hudson.instance.pluginManager.plugins exists and is ready to be called from the jenkins script console?

println(hudson.model.Hudson.instance.pluginManager.plugins) 

Thanks!

You can enter a groovy script in the script console.

The complete API can be found at the jenkins javadoc.
