JDK installer from java.sun.com is asking for the JDK ID

[Eugen Paraschiv]

Hi,
I'm configuring my newly installed Jenkins server (v1.640, running in a Tomcat 8 on an Ubuntu box) - and I'm trying to install the JDK within Jenkins.
I went with the "Install from java.sun.com" installer, filled in my Oracle account credentials, but now it's asking me to "Define JDK ID" with no auto-complete options and no hint of what that ID should be.
I can think of a few options here: 1.8.0_66, JDK 8, etc - but without a clear indication of what that ID should be, I can't know for sure.
Is this the way this installation should work, or am I missing something?
Also - a minor question - shouldn't the option be called "Install from oracle.com"?
Cheers,
Eugen.

I've seen a similar behavior with other tools and recent versions of Java 8.  For example, when I define that maven 3.3.9 should be downloaded from apache, sometimes it shows the pick list, and other times it does not.  Likewise, when I define that ant 1.9.6 should be downloaded from apache, sometimes it shows the pick list, other times it does not.  The same happens to me with the JDK installers.

My temporary work around was to host the tool installers that I need on a locally hosted http server.

I believe the same behavior does not happen with Java 7, though I am not 100% certain of that.

Yes, Maven is exactly in the same situation - I don't see any dropdown to select from, only a raw text field.

I opened a JIRA to track this: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-31977

The way I solved it was to install the tools locally and then, in Jenkins, not use any installer, just point to the local tool.

Cheers,

Eugen.

Didn't track it down, but as I was playing with something recently, I saw this is working in 1.609.3 but not in the latest LTS.

I'll see if I can bisect it.

I've seen it in the latest LTS - only thing I've found that clears it up is restarting a few times and force-updating. I think it might be the cert issues on tool installer metadata that Kohsuke's supposed to fix. =)

This should be resolved since earlier today.
