[JIRA] (JENKINS-17053) Warn user about variable names with . (dot)

Joris van der Pol commented on JENKINS-17053 Warn user about variable names with . (dot) Gregory, variables are a confusing lot in Jenkins, since there is a lot of variation among plugins and the ways they are handled. I try to use the java property style with dots to group properties. The simplest example I came up with is the following: Parameterize the build with a string parameter called 'version.name'. In the 'execute windows batch command' build step you can use %version.name%. The parameterized build trigger plugin can handle the same situation. I'm not sure on 'execute shell' build step, since I have not used it before. Maybe it is possible to have a duplicate variable which replaces the dot for an underscore. I saw the build-name-setter plugin use another way: ${ENV,var="VARIABLENAME"}. With kind regards, Joris
