Posted Aug 7, 2014I've updated the URLs for the Jenkins server, the links should work again.
@GodsDead
If you need per world plugins (look at world specific perms first, but that doesn't always fulfill your needs), then take a look at PerWorldPlugins - it should work in conjunction with PlugMan.
@Cyprusdemon13
The "/plugman load <name>" command does this. Be warned, though, for some complex plugins it's recommended to simply restart the server rather than using PlugMan for hot-swapping.
@XxPoNaGeXx
PlugMan requires Java 7 (or higher) to run properly, it looks like you're probably running Java 6 on your server.

Posted Jul 27, 2014Is there a command so that when you freshly download a plugin, it will activate without having to restart? Like if I download Essentials, is there a command to get it working instantly, or is a restart needed?
