Since Eclipse Hudson instance is upgraded to 2.2.1, I thought it may be
worth to mention about a helpful feature we introduced in Hudson 2.2.0.
This is a useful feature especially if you have several jobs with
similar configurations and maintaining them is a painful process.
In Hudson 2.2.0, we introduced the concept called "Job Cascading or
Inheritance". The concept of cascading Job is the ability to inherit job
properties from parent in a cascading fashion down the inheritance tree.
The main points of this feature are
* Any job of same type can be used as a parent job for inheritance
* Cyclic inheritance is prohibited.
* All Job properties of a child job, by default, will be inherited
from Parent.
* User can override job properties by changing them on Child Job
Configuration Page.
* When overridden, property will be highlighted to show it is as
overridden.
* User will be allowed to revert the overriding property to that of
the parent property using a simple revert button at the left hand side.
