as well as Start Time and End Time; show a column displaying how long ago - 
relative to the system time - the build took place

         Key: CONTINUUM-611
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-611
     Project: Continuum
        Type: New Feature

  Components: Web interface  
    Reporter: james strachan


Developers are based all over the world - often in different timezones to the 
ones that are running CI builds. So knowing a built took place at 8:12 is not 
that relevant unless the end user (i) knows the local time of the machine and 
(ii) is good at doing mental timezone-changing.  What is more helpful is the 
build took place 5 hours ago.

So either (i) allow a timezone to be specified per user so all times can be 
auto-converted - or just show how long ago a build took place.

Maybe it'd be neater to have these columns


Start Time (on machine) : Duration (how long the build actually took) : When 
(how long ago it took place from now)
