This implements an enhanced workaround for the problem that parameters of a Jenkins-Pipeline file are not read and are therefore not available before the first execution, unless one moves the parameter definition into the job definition. But that job definition is usually a separate file, which makes maintenance more difficult. More details are in the PR, if you are interested.
