Deployment warnings should be exposed as a consumable property

We are currently making use of the warnings feature in UCD where we are marking the deployment with an ucdWarning in certain cases.


When looking at a deployment through UCD, it's clear that there is a warning and that the person needs to take a closer look. However, there are quite a lot of end users that don't look inside UCD and are mainly concerned with Jenkins.


As long as the deployment doesn't 'fail', they are not going to take a closer look at UCD. Hence, it's important to be able to return this 'warning' back to Jenkins, so that we can mark the build as unstable.


Currently, when we do a requestApplicationProcess, we put the 'post-deploy-message' = '${p:finalStatus}', so that on callback, Jenkins knows whether the deploy was successful or not. We would like to be able to extend this with a notion of there being a warning.


However, when looking at the properties that are part of the deployment, I don't see any valuable parameter that I could add to the above 'post-deploy-message'.
