Since job names form part of Jenkins URLs, I think the main limitation is characters which would need escaping when forming a URL (e.g., slash)
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scott Evans Sent: 14 October 2013 16:40 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: What characters are illegal to include in job names? I'm not familiar with any offhand which are illegal, though I'd suggest as best practices to avoid anything that's not a standard alphabetic, numeric, or dash/underscore. Depending on what platform(s) you're working on, I'd suggest for sure to avoid spaces, as that just gets weird with some command-line stuff if there are spaces in the job name. It's probably more of an OS limitation on what would be a valid directory name rather than anything within Jenkins itself.
