      Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 64 bit
      Sun Java 1.6.0_20

      It would be useful to support the TimeStamper plugin in Flow jobs.
      We can see what time each job is triggered / completes in a central place
      (because this info is available elsewhere in Jenkins, priority is set to Trivial)

          Actually, I would argue this is non-trivial. True, the start times of the individual jobs called by Build Flow DSL are recorded elsewhere, but an awful lot can happen either side of the DSL, for example a source checkout, or a bunch of post-build activities.

          Not having any timestamps in the console output of this kind of job is a major annoyance. Please can you raise the priority?

          Being groovy can always add your own, though would be nice if the option was supported

          println "job scheduled at" + new Date()
          build("job")
          println "job completed at" + new Date()

          It seems that the timestamp is fully compatible with the Build Flow plugin, but it cannot be enabled through the UI due to Build Flow job types not having a "Build Environment" section.

          As a quick PoC, I tried added the timestamper wrapper config to the job's config.xml directly. After doing this the subsequent builds displayed timestamps as if it had been enabled normally. The downside is that as soon as the project's configuration is changed through the UI, the manual addition is removed
