I've looked through this group and the various plugins, but haven't found how to create jobs that use a global build number. Instead of having a monotonically increasing build number for each job, I want the build number to increase across all products so that I can tell that build #900 for job build_component_A started after build #899 for job build_component_B.
Or, if possible, have the build number set from an external source. If there isn't a way to do this currently, any suggestions for doing this via a plugin? Is this even possible? Thanks for any insights that you may have.
