Already the jenkins job are predefined with set of some environment variables like BUILD_NUMBER,JOB_NAME etc. These list of variables with name and description will be available in the url - http:// Your Jenkin URL/env-vars.html (Ex:http://cptest-Jenkins/env-vars.html)

These list of environment variables can be easily accessed using below code.

System.out.println("Build Number:"+System.getenv("BUILD_NUMBER")); //BUILD_NUMBER - name of the environment variable

This will print the current build number. Same way you can access other variables also.

Not sure how your java program is called but they should be set and environment-variables in the job so you should be able to access them from java or send them as parameters to the java program.

I thought about again and "print" out the whole environment of a running job. I found some env vars, that helps and so I solved this one. – Nov 30 '16 at 11:20

You can have following line in your application.properties. service.version=${BUILD_NUMBER}

and then from in your java code, you can use this service.version.
