( jenkinsdoc:ArgumentListBuilder#add(String, boolean)[] is a simpler way to suppress a single password.)

Implementations which are Serializable may be sent to an agent JVM for processing. In particular, this happens under JEP-210. In this case, the implementation should not assume that JenkinsJVM#isJenkinsJVM , and if generating ConsoleNote s will need to encode them on the master side first.</p>
