Description

Issue:
In a project that I'm working on, we are listing the instantiated jobs.

One of the requests that we have is to have a description for each job.

Suggestion:
Since it is possible to define a description for the job (in xml), it would be useful to have access to this field in the java object.

Done means the configured description is accessible from that object and the relevant behavior is covered by tests.
