very little information shown about canceled builds
In the 2.0.0.2 Eclipse client, the Builds view shows very little information about builds that have been canceled. The only columns I see that are populated are "Build" and "Progress".
While I wouldn't necessarily expect to see "Estimated Completion" populated with any particular value in this case, I would expect to see other columns like "Label", "Duration", "Tags", and "Start Time" to be populated with the correct values. Start Time is particularly important because, by default, the view is sorted by Start Time, which puts all of my canceled builds at the very top of the list.
So the question is... Is this the expected behavior, or perhaps is there something wrong with my build setup?

"Canceled" means the build request was canceled while still in the
Pending state, before the build ever started. If the build was canceled
while it was in progress, it is labeled as "Abandoned". So canceled
builds have no meaningful values for "Label", "Duration", or "Start
Time" since the build never started. Abandoned builds do have values in
those columns. It would be nice if there were a column for when the
build request was issued (as opposed to when the build actually
started), which would have a meaningful value for canceled builds. I
always delete the build result for canceled builds. I don't see any
point in keeping them around in the repository.
