It would be nice to be able to build software from different branches using matrix configuration.
I would like to have a parameter in the client view map, like this:
//mib2_com/${BRANCH}/sqlite3/... //WRK/sqlite3/...
and this should be replaced with the actual branch, e.g. "dev/main", "rel/2014", ...
Master Job checkout behaviour:
As there is currently no way to omit the checkout in the Master Matrix Job, the first value of the axes should be used.
As we're doing a lot of branches in our company, I would appreciate this behaviour a lot! This would make our configuration so much more light weight 
Thanks in advance,
Christian

[JENKINS-23599] Perforce plugin should replace variables from matrix configuration
Master Job checkout behaviour:
As there is currently no way to omit the checkout in the Master Matrix Job, the first value of the axes should be used.
SCMCheckoutStrategy allows to implement such feature.
Implementation: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Extension+points#Extensionpoints-jenkins.scm.SCMCheckoutStrategy
AFAIK, there was an issue for the new strategy implementation

I tested CloudBees build #126 and it works like a charm! Thanks for this extremely useful improvement! So now I'm really looking forward to the official release!
After two more months, there is still no release containing this fix 
Will there be ever a new release of Perforce plugin? There hasn't been a release since Januar (https://github.com/jenkinsci/perforce-plugin/releases).
I've also seen that there's a completely new perforce plugin (https://github.com/jenkinsci/p4-plugin) that's in active development.
Thanks a lot! The new version of Perforce plugin released in November includes this issue and it works like a charm!
Unfortunately there's a subsequent problem with encoding slash characters in Jenkins core (or matrix plugin?) that should have been fixed a few years ago. I reopened this issue: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-2670
Is there anything else I can do to help this problem getting fixed?
Please do not re-open cases without an analysis.
JENKINS-25599 overs your case.
Hopefully, the new plugin version will be released on this week.
P.S: If you experience any issue, please feel free to contribute. There's no 24/7 maintainers of this plugin
