Because buildflow jobs suck so bad, if the new 0.8 version doesn't fix some of these usability concerns, I would be in favour of trashing them entirely. See JBIDE-13307 for an alternate approach to building everything in a single cascade.

To your point about more obvious job names... we could do that, but what if the contents change? What if freemarker or GWT get re-enabled, or a project ends and no longer needs to build? Are you OK with these flow jobs being renamed to reflect the fact that new children are being added/removed?

> I'm trying to grok the buildflow job setup.
> For now I can just see tons of buildflow.<n>_<branch> builds are failing.
> Clicking on them gets me to for example http://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/view/JBossTools/view/JBossTools_4.1.kepler/job/jbosstools-buildflow.5_41/
> There seem to be no info in these on what they do - the name is just a number and nothing in description.
> Even when logged in I couldn't figure out how to see what these various numbers are for ? 
> I did find when clicking configure that the description refer to https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13308 ...but that description does not show up anywhere. Is that a bug in Jenkins ?
> https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13308 does not seem to define what the numbers mean either. 
> What am I missing ?
> Could we get some better names on these ? (ie. base-flow, 3rdparty-flow, javaee-central-flow or at least a blurp in a visible description field on where/how to view these in case the names are just to have a stable url ?
> (I do know i can click configure and go in an see the DSL but that seems rather tedious).
