Can Hudson's task establish a description of his own assembly?

Question

I know there is a web API allowing you to use this trick using the current build number. But this requires authentication, so the script must be edited on every hudson.

Is there a way to achieve this from a script or through a plugin?

Answer 1

If you're talking about setting the assembly description, Jenkins can do this based on the regular expression in the output of the assembly.

See the Setter Description plugin.
