I've got a hierarchy of build jobs set up where job A does the initial 
checkout and build of an rpm and then subordinate jobs B & C can perform 
various operations on the codebase in parallel.  

(In case you're interested Job B injects the rpm into an VMDK and then 
slowly deploys the result as an OVF appliance for our manual testers to 
play with; Job C runs a collection of integration tests)

We like this configuration since it allows the build to fail fast and we 
don't *have* to wait for long integration tests or OVF deployments to 
complete before feeding back initial success via emails and Jira comments 
regarding job A.  What I can't work out is how to get similar feedback from 
jobs B & C.  Is there a way, when triggering jobs B & C to pass in the 
changelog from job A so that B&C send out emails and log build successes in 
Jira accordingly?

Thanks,

Rob
