[Build Blocker Plugin] Pending pull request and some plugin development tips required

[Benjamin Kemper]

Hey,

I've added support for the Folders plugin to the Build Blocker Plugin, basically matching the regexes on the full name of the job instead of on the short name.

Since it doesn't seem that the project is maintained anymore (last commit was in 2013), and my pull request is waiting to be merged for several weeks, is possible to get someone to commit it?

Since I'm a C++ developer and hadn't done anything in Java since Uni, I would really appreciate if someone can go over this.

On a similar note, I want to add extra functionality to the plugin, that stores for each build which builds blocked it. I already know how to add Actions to the build page and how to collect the information, so basically, I'm interested in how to store extra information per build? If anyone can can share some insights or point me to relevant plugins that do something similar it would be great. Also, is it reasonable/possible to set the blocking builds as upstream projects?

Thanks,

Benjamin.
