jenkins slave run in jdk 1.6

[miyapuram...@gmail.com]

Hi All,

i have a very complex environment in my jenkins build and deployment. There are four kinds of system: windows(for the jboss java environment), aix(for the xlc compiler), linux(for the websphere jee application), mac (for the ios development). Different system own their jdk, the least one is the JDK 1.6. For the AIX IBM JDK(with the DES SDK problem), so i need the jenkins 2.32.1+, but my environment which has the JDK 1.6, so the slave JNLP showing error it requries JDK8 . But the jenkins slave jar need the JDK 1.7+, so i thinks weather i can compile the slave jar by myself for the jdk 1.6.

How can i solve this problem?

Pls help on this.

Regards,

M.Venkat.

Well, building a custom agent JAR version defintely belongs to the developer mailing list...

Regarding the question, no it is NOT possible to build the current agent.jar (Remoting) version for JDK 1.6. The code has moved on and adopted many features from newer Java versions, Java 1.8 is the minimum supported version. Good news is that you should not need to rebuild it at all. You can use Java 1.8 for running the Jenkins agent, but use older Java versions for running your software builds. FTR it is possible only for Freestyle and Pipeline projects, but not the Maven ones. 

Please see https://www.jenkins.io/doc/administration/requirements/java/ for more details
