How to get the jobname from jenkins

A similar issue, I was looking for job name for shell script.

In the 'Execute shell' > 'Command' textbox, both the below worked for me:

echo $JOB_NAME  
echo "$JOB_NAME"

You may set special variable for that based on global variable. Simple:

THEJOB="${JOB_NAME.substring(JOB_NAME.lastIndexOf('/') + 1, JOB_NAME.length())}"

Now $THEJOB is your job name

If you can run any Job, you can easily go to the Build section of that job and go to environment variables and see all the information there.

enter image description here

Jenkins sets some environment variables such as JOB_NAME (see here) for more details on the variables set.

You can then access these in ant via ${env.JOB_NAME}.

Edit: There's also a little howto for environment variables on the same page here.
