Bamboo 3.4 : Viewing your JDK Capabilities

You can view all the JDK capabilities that have been defined in your Bamboo system on the 'JDKs' page. These include local server capabilities, local agent-specific capabilities and remote agent-specific capabilities.

Viewing and Configuring JDKs

To view and configure the JDK capabilities defined in Bamboo:

  1. Click the 'Administration' link in the top navigation bar.
  2. Click the 'JDKs' link in the left navigation column. The JDKs page will be displayed, showing the list of all the JDK capabilities defined in your Bamboo system.

Notes

  • Bamboo's automatic detection of JDKs — When you install either Bamboo or the Bamboo Remote Agent, it will automatically look for an existing JDK installed on the same machine (based on the machine's JAVA_HOME environment variable) and create a 'JDK capability' for that JDK installation, with its path being the value of JAVA_HOME.
  • Local agents and JDK capabilities — Since Bamboo automatically looks for an existing JDK installed on the same machine and creates a 'JDK capability' for it, all existing and subsequent local agents that you create will possess this JDK capability. Hence, when you access the 'JDKs' page and view this JDK capability, all local agents will be grouped together in the 'All local agents' category and you will only be able to remove this JDK capability from all local agents, not from individual local agents.
