Hudson and Jenking support "matrix" builds which trigger other builds. A common usecase can be seen on the Mylyn build server where a build plan triggers builds of Mylyn against multiple Eclipse platforms. (eg. http://ci.mylyn.org/job/mylyn-3.21.x/)

We may also want to look into supporting Jenkins Pipeline builds in a similar fashion.

* The build editor displays a list of links to the child builds
* Clicking a child build link opens it in the build editor
** The run action is not shown for child builds (though the cancel action is, see task 388776)
** At this point the build editor may not have any content because we may not yet be retrieving things like test results for child builds
* From the build editor, user can view the test results, console and history of child builds
* The build editor for matrix builds displays the status for each child build, similar to the web UI
* The builds view displays a list of child builds under a matrix build as children in the tree
* The filters should apply to child builds
** Matrix builds should show through a filter if they or any of their children match
** The run action in the context menu is not shown for child builds (though the cancel action is, see task 388776)
