Using plugin
Plugin allows user to create build aliases. Build aliases will be displayed together with job permalinks at the job page and, more importantly, the alias can be used in url to identify the build.
Token macro
User can declare an alias template as a token macro expression. New
builds will have aliases attached with the expanded value. Given the
configuration from the picture, the build can then be reached at url
like /job/<job-name>/git-532b247b8fa8b4268f66d1c36d552bb0b5b277fb.
Extending plugin
Plugin exposes
AliasProvider
extension points to be used by other plugins. Developers can create
configurable providers of custom aliases.
TokenMacroAliasProvider
can be seen as an example implementation.
