Jenkins Display version number in the build history coloumn - jenkins

I have a job that builds and tests a software, What I want to do is, after I build the solution I want to display the version on the build history column. I have seen this done but I dont know how.
Really appreciate your help

You can use the Description Setter plugin if the version number is somewhere in your build log.

Is there any way of checking the history of builds ran by me on Jenkins?

Each time I log on Jenkins I find myself having to type on the search bar the exact name of the build I am looking for and it would be very helpful if there was a section showing the history of your recently ran builds, anyone knows if such thing exists?
You can try this:
http://<my_jenkins>:8081/user/<user_name>/builds
It should plot the builds that you've manually built. Seems that it doesn't support multibranch pipeline jobs.

Change the release process from SNAPSHOT to build number

Currently we are using axion-release-plugin to control our release process. Now we would like to drop the SNAPSHOT and introduce the build number in our release process. So that we can achieve CI.
Basically currently we are using version 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT and now we need something like 1.0.0-BUILDNUMBER or 1.0.BUILDNUMBER from Jenkins.
Please provide any solution or plugin we can use with gradle.
I'm actually quite happy with nebula-release-plugin developed by NetFlix. It can generate a unique version number based on branches and tags in your git repo.
By default it counts with using git flow, but you can reconfigure the behaviour. Take a look :)

Publish jenkins build results on website

I need to get the results of my jenkins builds on my website. I already set up jenkins that when someone pushes on my repository the project will be build. Now I need the information if the build failed on my homepage, to enable/disable the download button. Theres the next question is it possible to get the latest build through jenkins?
I already found HTML Publisher Plugin but I dont think that this would solve my problem?
Best regards
John
The way this is traditionally done is with a build passing or failing icon, that lets users know that a build failed

Jenkins: trending graph for build step time

My project has about 20 build steps and i want to monitor how much time each step takes over builds. I found Jenkins doesn't display such info.
Can use any of Jenkins tools or plugin to do that?
Was just looking for the same and found your post. There is this plugin though it doesn't show you a nice graph or anything it will add the raw timestamps to your log lines on a per project basis. https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Timestamper If you install it you have to configure each project separately to check the add timestamps to console box (there is a script for doing all projects at once but I didn't want to chance that and only need it to diagnose a particularly slow build).
Did you try this. Makes sense to your case.

Jenkins Dependent build for common branch

I have a requirement to do a dependent build using Jenkins Following is the requirement:
Project 1 has a branch which is used among two release lines. For example project1 development branch ikt/master is share in two release line rel1.2_4GB and rel_1.2_2JB.
When ever a change is submitted in ikt/master of project1 it should trigger build of both the release line rel1.2_4GB and rel_1.2_2JB simultaneously.
Build results should wait for other build to pass means both builds should be green.
Please suggest me steps using both plugin as well as without plugin (if possible).
Kind Regards,
I think your best option is to use the Parameterized Trigger Plugin to do this.
It's very simple and easy to use and you can trigger several child jobs and wait for their results. Based on their results, you can choose to fail or pass the build.
I suggest you read some more about it and do some experimenting. It works very well for me.
I hope this helps.
NOTE - I suggest not wasting time looking for a non plugin solution. If you have a good tool, use it. Don't loose time trying to be smarter...
