It depends on the form of enhancements. For example, JobProperty can work with arbitrary Job subtypes, so other plugins can add those (for exampel to associate additional metadata with jobs.) Your AsyncJob subtypes can define additional extension points, just like AbstractProject defines SCM extension point. How you interact with those is entirely up to you. > How can I fail / "abort" the execution?
