Thanks for the pointer, Winston.
This will certainly cut down on config time for new jobs.

Since Eclipse Hudson instance is upgraded to 2.2.1, I thought it
may be worth to mention about a helpful feature we introduced in
Hudson 2.2.0. This is a useful feature especially if you have
several jobs with similar configurations and maintaining them is a
painful process.
In Hudson 2.2.0, we introduced the concept called "Job Cascading
or Inheritance".
The concept of cascading Job is the ability to inherit job
properties from parent in a cascading fashion down the inheritance
tree. The main points of this feature are
- Any job of same type can be used as a parent job for
inheritance
- Cyclic inheritance is prohibited.
- All Job properties of a child job, by default, will be
inherited from Parent.
- User can override job properties by changing them on Child
Job Configuration Page.
- When overridden, property will be highlighted to show it is
as overridden.
- User will be allowed to revert the overriding property to
that of the parent property using a simple revert button at
the left hand side.
