Show a Jenkins pipeline stage as failed without failing the whole job

Question

Here\'s the code I\'m playing with

node {
    stage \'build\'
    echo \'build\'

    stage \'tests\'
    echo \'tests\'

    stage \'end-to-end-tests\'

I recently tried to use vaza's answer Show a Jenkins pipeline stage as failed without failing the whole job as template for writing a function that excutes a job in an own stage named like the job name. Surprisingly it worked, but maybe some groovy experts have a look at it :)

Here is how it looks like if one of the jobs is aborted:

def BuildJob(projectName) {
    try {
       stage(projectName) {
         node {      
           def e2e = build job:projectName, propagate: false
           result = e2e.result
           if (result.equals("SUCCESS")) {
           } else {
              error 'FAIL' //sh "exit 1" // this fails the stage
           }
         }
       }
    } catch (e) {
        currentBuild.result = 'UNSTABLE'
        result = "FAIL" // make sure other exceptions are recorded as failure too
    }
}

node {
    BuildJob('job1')
    BuildJob('job2')
}
