I'm trying to configure a salve using "Launch slave agents via Java Web Start", but I see that option is not listed in the launch method. I'm using Jenkins 2.14 version.OS: Linux 3.8.13-68.3.4.el6uek.x86_64 
Please help me to solve the issue

From the  changelog (https://jenkins.io/changelog/):
Hide the Java Web Start launcher when the TCP agent port is disabled. (issue 36996)

So check your setup and enable the TCP agent port.

And check https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/jenkinsci-users/KsL2OasSLBY/zU-tYNJ4NgAJ,

the TCP port is only available with security configured since 2.0.

So the logic here is to reflect that the TCP agent port has been disabled and thus the launcher is not available to you.

Perhaps it would be an idea to show the item but as disabled and state what actions are required to get it enabled?

I agree. This is impossible to discover for new or even experienced users.

Yep, that would require changes to how descriptor visibility filters work though... so likely not going to change for the next couple of weeks (unless somebody else picks it up that is)

Changing DescriptorVisibilityFilter would likely have unintended side effects. Should probably not use Descriptor visibility, but just have a warning in the JNLP specific config if the agent port is disabled. I'm thinking of something similar to Maven build step's (or possibly Maven Project's) warning when no Maven versions are set up.

Well ideally I'd like to move this out of core and into its own plugin, in which case you wouldn't see it unless you installed that plugin, so on that basis I would argue that people just need to get used to it... But maybe I'm being a demagogue on this ;-)
