Manage Jenkins --> Global properties --> Environment variables works for us.

I am running Jenkins in Tomcat on Linux. It does not seem to be possible to do this within Jenkins or Tomcat configuration. I had thought that adding an <Environment> entry to the context.xml in the Tomcat configuration would do it, but this appears to set some kind of java environment variable. Is there something I am missing here? It would simplify the large number of job files I am setting up if environment variables could be factored out into a (jenkins-) global context. Thanks
