Automatic JDK installation not working on AIX systems

[sunnym...@gmail.com]

Hi,
I failed to launch a new Jenkins agent (slave) on an AIX system. It seems that the “automatic JDK installation” of Jenkins does not work here:

hudson.util.IOException2: Could not find any known supported java version in [java, /usr/bin/java, /usr/java/default/bin/java, /usr/java/latest/bin/java, /usr/local/bin/java, /usr/local/java/bin/java, /usr/jenkins/.jenkins/jdk/bin/java, /bin/java], and we also failed to install JDK as a fallback

Is it possible to get AIX systems supported in the near future?

Probably not, unless you do this yourself.

FWIW you could choose to install the JDK from a zip/tar file that Jenkins downloads for that machine (limit the install to specific nodes using the label expression). While less convenient (it requires preparation by you), this should work on all platforms.

+1. This is how we did that in the past for AIX. 

And anyway, I think you should not use JDK (or maven, or any tool really) auto install feature for long in general. It's cool and useful for quick prototyping but probably not a good idea for your production CD/CI cluster. (If not obvious why: you don't want your builds to start failing because of any unavailability from where you're downloading from...)
