Adds a build step that exports runtime parameters into a properties file (e.g who triggered the build, what is her email address...). This information can be read by other build steps.
job-exporter plugin
Enabling
To use it, edit the configuration of a particular job, go to "Build" and click "Add build step", in the list select "Export Job runtime parameters", this will create the files at the point in the build where this step is executed.
Details
This plugin exports Jenkins (runtime) job parameters into a ".properties" file. So other build steps (e.g. ant scripts) can read those parameters and work with them. For example: send some information via email to the user who triggered a job.
The property file is named "hudsonBuild.properties" and will be created in the project workspace. This file contains the following informations:
| Property | Meaning |
|---|---|
| build.jobName | Name of running job. |
| build.id | Build ID. |
| build.number | Number of running job. |
| build.host | Job runs on this host. |

| build.cvsBranch | CVS branch, if configured. |
| build.svnRevision | SVN revision, if configured. |

| build.user.name | User that triggered this job. Only filled if the build was triggered by an user. |
| build.user.fullName | Full name of user that triggered this job. Mostly identical with value of "build.user.name" (if ID is not null). |
