I have an XML file located in the jobs workspace. The XML file needs to
be parsed for a version and displayed as a dynamic parameter. I have
several jobs which has the requirement so I've used the plugin,
Extensible Choice Parameter, as an extension point. Is there a class
within the jenkins api which can be used to access/determine the
workspace before the build has started?

Hi Joice,
It is not possible at all. Workspace in builds is being determined according to many logic handlers including build params. You cannot foresee the workspace before the build starts. It is possible to get a workspace of the previous build, but such approach is error-prone as well.
A general recommendation would be to publish XML files as artifacts and take them as sources
