Description
Analogue to the "Multibranch Pipelines" it would be great to get matrix-project supported pipelines.
i.e.
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Matrix+Project+Plugin => https://plugins.jenkins.io/matrix-project should get a compagnion/successor workflow-matrix aside multibranch https://plugins.jenkins.io/workflow-multibranch
Use cases:
- different target environment with different plattform support builds
- coded pipeline support for matrix based job definitions
- actually it is only possible to use the old but pipeline incompatible JenkinsDSL (yes, there is a DSL for starting pipelines, but that's not the point)

added a comment - Is matrix building really that rare that this isn't implemented yet?
What I'm really after is being able to define a step in a Blue Ocean pipeline that executes for a number of axes (O/S, arch, etc.). Is this the only real blocking issue to that?

What I'm really after is being able to define a step in a Blue Ocean pipeline that executes for a number of axes (O/S, arch, etc.). Is this the only real blocking issue to that? It is really strange. Now I really don't know how to implement an axis shown below with a few configuration/platforms, each one with several separated stages (build, unit/integration tests, code metrics):
Not to have a single stage mess like this:
Any clues how to achieve this painlessly?

added a comment - This would be extremely useful to have. We have many different combinations of target architectures + build variations and the matrix plugin works quite well for this usecase.
It would be great if we could have a matrix job that runs a single jenkinsfile with different parameters but without different git branches for each variant.
A single parallel block is not a reasonable alternative to the matrix plugin. If I go on console output I get all the parallel output interleaved. While the blue ocean UI filters it by parallel stage having to expand each individual node is also quite annoying.

added a comment - I have a matrix of test data and configuration parameters that I would like to use a pipeline to test. .
I can run a shell, but how to I get it to run a pipleline?

perhaps https://plugins.jenkins.io/matrix-groovy-execution-strategy is a base / useful start?!
