Allow Jenkins PlasticSCM Plugin to set workspace and directory name to different values
The Jenkins PlasticSCM plugin uses the same setting for workspace name and workspace directory.
This prevents Jenkins from creating multiple workspaces on the same machine in the case below.
e.g.
c:\project-a\mywksp
c:\project-b\mywksp
Current behaviour is for Jenkins PlasticSCM plugin to create c:\project-a\mywksp with name mywksp. Then when creating c:\project-b\mywksp will use mywksp and overwrite the first workspace.

Hi RichT,
We consider this is a configuration issue, rather than a lack of functionality. The workspace name property can be edited in Jenkins to take advantage of the Jenkins build variables (such as JOB_NAME and NODE_NAME). That way you can have unique workspaces for each project or build agent. You can see this configuration in action on the Plastic SCM Jenkins plugin website: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/PlasticSCM+Plugin.
Thank you for your feedback!
Regards,
Miguel
