Jenkins - Running instances of single build concurrently

Question

I\'d like to be able to run several builds of the same Jenkins job simultaneously.

Example:

1. Build [*jenkins_job_1*]: calls an ant script with parameter

Answer 1

A newer (and better) solution is the Jenkins Job DSL Plugin.

We've been using it with great success. Our job configurations are now disposable... we can set up a huge stack of complicated jobs from some groovy files and a couple template jobs. It's great.

I'm liking it a lot more than the matrix builds, which were complicated and harder to understand.
