jenkins loses post-build action settings after restart with plugins based on ruby runtime

Question

Tested with Yammer Plugin and buddycloud Plugin in Jenkins 2.x. Since Yammer and buddycloud plugins depend on jruby based Ruby Runtime Plugin, installing those installs Ruby Runtime first.

As long as I don't restart Jenkins, the plugins work, and their settings persist. But after Jenkins is restarted the Post-Build Action settings on all job's configuration pages are lost and have to be re-entered. The jobs' respective config.xml files retain correct settings, but they seem to have no effect. Is there a fix or a workaround? thanks

Seems to be a widespread bug with Jenkins plugins Built on JRuby (and employing post-build actions). I had this same issue with a different plugin that fit this same mold (https://help.rallydev.com/jenkins). Looks like the issue is logged with Jenkins as Issue #114 (https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins.rb/issues/114). Still unfixed, but at least there is hope.
