JDK Installer Groovy script

[Stijn Diependaele]

Dear,

I'm trying to write a groovy script which manages the JDK installs.

The code below would set the JDK installation with the home folder. Although I would like to us an automatic installation from Oracle.
You have to set the username and password for this. But how do i pass the username and password to the Descriptor of JDKInstaller?

If I look at http://javadoc.jenkins-ci.org/hudson/tools/JDKInstaller.DescriptorImpl.html I can see that you can getUsername an getPassword.
A guess would be it's done by passing it through JSON in the configure method???

Could anyone provide a code example?

JDKDesc = Jenkins.instance.getDescriptorByName("hudson.model.JDK");

JDK jdk = new JDK("JDK 8", "/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64");
   
jdkDesc.setInstallations(jdk);

jdks = jdkDesc.getInstallations();
jdkDesc.save();

Jenkins.instance.save()

thanks!
Stijn

Did you ever find a solution for this?  I'm trying to automate the JDK installations for a new jenkins server.

Thanks.

Since Jenkins has an http server delivering content from the userContent directory, I configured the JDK download location to be the userContent directory of the Jenkins server.  That allows me to keep the JDK download self-contained within the Jenkins server, without any scripting.

Hey Mike,

We decided not to download from Oracle. Instead we have a local repo and we use puppet to manage/install the java package. So I did it like in the script above by setting the name and the path where java is installed.

It's better to have a local repo and use this one instead. But if you want I can have a look at it again, maybe I find it now.

I've just found those variables are private:

- https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/blob/master/core/src/main/java/hudson/tools/JDKInstaller.java#L739-L741

So no way to set them directly unless running the method doPostCredential

import jenkins.model.*

import hudson.model.*

def inst = Jenkins.getInstance()

def desc = inst.getDescriptor("hudson.tools.JDKInstaller")

println desc.doPostCredential('YourEmailAccount','YourPassword')

I hope it helps

Cheers
