 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:
