The standard Maven Project in Jenkins provides the ability to fingerprint consumed artifacts. If the consumed artifact was created by a Jenkins build (and fingerprinted), Jenkins will link you back to the point of origin.
Use cases:
- When an upstream project causes an exception, you can easily find the build of the dependency to get information which will help narrow in on the root cause like the upstream changelog.
- When releasing (or preparing to release) the downstream build, you can see exactly what upstream builds are implicitly being released with it.
