There is a Parameterized Trigger Plugin which, once installed, allows you to trigger a parameterized build after one build has finished.

The easiest way to accomplish what you want would be to install this plugin, and build the project once with the key/value list that you want to build against. If for some reason you need to execute the build multiple times after the first job completes, then you could use the remote API to start builds from your first project. So you have two options:

Option A

• Project1 executes, creates a file with key/value pairs
• Project1 completes, is configured to execute Project2 with parameters (using the Parameterized Trigger Plugin)
• Project2 loops through the key/value pairs, doing whatever you need to do for each one

Option B

• Project1 executes. For every key/value pair, it hits the following url http://server/job/<Project2 Name>/buildWithParameters?PARAM1=Value1&PARAM2=Value2 (you will need to substitute in your actual project name and parameter names/values)
• Project2 takes these parameters and builds as normal, using the parameter values wherever it needs to
