Linking/Associating Build Results

Hi,

I was wondering whether it's somehow possible to link build results together if they depend on or consume other build results.

Example:

We are using the following build definitions:

* Java EE Artifact Build Definition responsible for building an EAR
* PDE-based build definition responsible for building an Eclipse-based product
* An Installer build Definition responsible for building an installable image based on IBM Installation Manager and Common Launchpad

The installer build definition depends on the Java EE and PDE build definition and thus it would be kind of useful if the build result of the installer build definition would call out which Java EE and PDE build results were consumed.

Is it possible to define such dependencies/associations between build results. I know using external links pointing to each of the consumed build results could probably be used as some sort of a last resort, but if this would be supported out of the box that would be great.

The reason I am asking this question is, that I would like to create some kind of change log of every work item that went into a) the Java EE build result b) the PDE build result and c) the installer build result itself and thus I thought having such kind of linkage between dependent would be handy.

Thanks!

Cheers
Daniel
