Get All Builds with Build Description Jenkins Script Console

BuildsBetweenWithBuildDescription.groovy

/**
 * This script will print the job name and build number of all jobs in the last N days for all builds with a non null description.
 * This script is useful for locating builds that have been earmarked with a build description. 
 
 * Example: Assume you have a build that runs every 2 minutes but 90% of the builds do not produce any artifacts.  If you earmark the 
 * builds that produce artifacts by setting a build description you can then use this script to locate all the artifact-producting builds.
 *
 * Note: We are filtering on build description, which is different from a projects description
 *
