Thanks Marc, but I'm not sure I understand what you mean by the word "test" in your response? Are you talk about unit tests?
Regardless, perhaps I didn't express my need accurately. We would like to package and distribute canned job configurations (from source control actually), having various aspects of these job configurations controlled by environment values available when Jenkins starts up. One of these would be the frequency certain jobs ran. So ideally I could set an env var ciBuildFreq="H H * * *" before startup and then reference that value in the job config. We would actually like to read this from a property file with the EnvInject plugin...
