Answer 1

I had a problem where the installed JDK was JDK 8 whereas I wanted Jenkins to use JDK 7 . So , after installing JDK 7 on the Jenkins build box ,

I added the JDK path to jenkins Configurations :

Jenkins -> Manage Jenkins -> Configure system -> JDK -> Add JDK name and Path

Also , Edit jenkins-runner.sh: Add the line:

export JAVA_HOME=""

Change the last two lines to read:

echo "/bin/java" $javaArgs -jar "$war" $args

exec "/bin/java" $javaArgs -jar "$war" $args
