If a job fails its artifacts are not saved by hudosn. I think this is the
intended behavior for building some kind of software.

We use use hudson to run tests and those jobs produce log files which we need if
a test has failed. Currently I have to dig into the workspace view in order to
find logs of a failed test. It would be better if hudson would collect the
artifacts of such a failed build and show these on the "Build artifacts" page.

In the job configuration page, under "Post-build Actions" > "Archive the
artifacts" > "Advanced..." could be a switch labelled "Archive artifacts even if
build failed".
