Title: Make run points configurable.

If you are attempting to read a properties file for the build number and it is produced by the build, then this plugin can fail with an IOException if that properties file does not exist at the start of the build.

My solution to this was to add advanced properties to allow a job to determine when the display name is set. This allows me to produce the properties file and then read it at the end.
