Description: Adds reusable macro expansion capability for other Jenkins
plugins
In various Jenkins plugins, such as email-ext and description-setter, an user
is asked to provide an "expression" that evaluates to text. For example, in the
case of the email-ext plugin, the whole email content is one big expression, so
is the subject. This often includes some kind of macro tokens, which evaluates
to things like build number, cause, the current branch being built, etc. In the
description-setter plugin, the user configures a similar expression that
evaluates to the string that becomes a build string. In instant messenger
plugin, one might configure the template that controls what messages the user
will receive.
All these plugins share the common concept of token expansions, where something
like ${SUBVERSION_REVISION} expands to some textual values, and since this
notion is useful beyond any single use case, it makes sense to define it
elsewhere. And this is exactly what this plugin does — to define the mechanism
for plugins to define tokens (and their parameters) and their evaluation, and
allow this mechanism to be reused by different plugin
