jenkins, jmeter and java7...

[David Harris]

Hi everyone,

sorry if this isn't the correct place to ask this, but I have the following issue:

I'm running Jenkins ver. 1.504 on Java7, Windows environment

When I was running on Java6, there where no issues with running jMeter tests (via Ant task), but now I've updated my Java I'm getting jMeter errors.

Is there any way to either:

tell jenkins to use a version 6 jre to run the Ant/jMeter

or

would I need to start Jenkins in a Java6 JVM to do this?

Some error information:
