Bamboo 4.4 : Configuring an agent-specific JDK capability

The page Configuring a new JDK does not exist. An agent-specific capability is a capability that applies to one agent only. Note that the value of an agent-specific capability will override the value of a shared capability of the same name (if one exists).

To configure a new agent-specific JDK capability:

  1. Navigate to the desired agent, as described on Viewing an agent.
  2. Click the Capabilities tab.
  3. Click Add Capability (under 'Agent-Specific Capabilities').
  4. Choose Capability Type > JDK.
  5. In the JDK Label field, type a name/label for the JDK. Bamboo show this in the Build JDK list whenever a job's builder is configured.
  6. In the Java Home field, type the location of the JDK Home Directory.
  7. Click Add.

Notes

  • Configuring generic JDK capabilities — If you want to indicate that an agent is capable of running builds for a set of related JDKs (e.g. all point versions of JDK 1.5), you set up generic JDK capabilities to encompass these JDKs.
    For example, you can set up the following JDK capabilities for your Bamboo agent(s):
    • JDK (where 'JDK Label' = 'JDK' and 'Java Home' = '/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_07') — this JDK capability indicates that an agent(s) is capable of running builds with any JDK requirement.
    • JDK 1.5 (where 'JDK Label' = 'JDK 1.5' and 'Java Home' = '/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_07') — this JDK capability indicates that an agent(s) is capable of running builds with a JDK 1.5 requirement or any point version of JDK 1.5, e.g. 1.5.0_07, 1.5.0_08, etc.
    • JDK 1.5.0_07 (where 'JDK Label' = 'JDK 1.5.0_07' and 'Java Home' = '/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_07') — this JDK capability indicates that an agent(s) is only capable of running builds with a JDK 1.5.0_07 requirement.
  • If you have set up redundant JDK capabilities, you can view the list of JDK capabilities set up in Bamboo and delete any unwanted JDK capabilities.
