Same workspace for multiple jobs

I have a job called "development" and another project called "code analysis". At the moment we have two different jobs and different workspaces, but same code; is there any way we could use the same workspace for multiple jobs?
I checked the plugins available in Jenkins but I haven't found any suitable one.

Suppose your "development" Jenkins job workspace is /var/workspace/job1. In the "code analysis" job configuration page, under the tab General click on Advanced... and select the option Use custom workspace and give the same workspace /var/workspace/job1 as of your "development" job.
