I think Kevin is right about this. The only way I could see to make a connection is to catch the event when a job is renamed. It does throw up an "Are you sure" alert, so I wonder if you could piggyback on that code in your extension, and send an update to your database. Looks like hudson/model/Job/rename.jelly may be the spot, though I am not really up on how things like this work behind the scenes.

Regards,
Eric

I don't believe that such a data element exists. In Jenkins, the project name is the key for everything.

    Hello,

    Does any one know of a place or a field in Jenkins that is static and
    unique for each project in the projects list in Jenkins?

    Is there a plugin out there that would give me a unique identifier
    for the
    project?

    The project name itself is not unique due to the fact that if you
    rename
    the job all of the data about the job is renamed without and
    effictively leaves no trace of the old project name (that I know
    of). When that happens my database plugin (that I am almost
    finished developing) starts over as if it is a new job. I'd like
    to continue trending the info with the new name.




    For example -

    I have a table full of the API/XML for ProjectX
    When I rename ProjectX to ProjectY Jenkins see's that ProjectX no
    longer
    exists and renames the entire job.

    If I am keeping a history of all of the API/XML and a job is
    renamed then I
    lost track of the history.

    What I would need is something like -

    Project# 1234
    ProjectName *ProjectX*
    Build# 45

    Then when it is renamecd

    Project# 1234
    ProjectName*ProjectY*
    Build# 45



    I'm currently scraping the data off of of this URL to grab project
    information
