Bamboo 4.4 : Configuring a new JDK capability

At least one JDK was automatically configured when you installed Bamboo 1. You can configure more by defining JDK capabilities.

The page Configuring a new JDK does not exist.

You can define a new JDK capability for:

(info) Note that if an agent has its own specific JDK capability, the value will override the value of a shared JDK capability of the same name (if one exists).

Once you have configured a new JDK capability in your Bamboo system, its label (e.g. '1.5') will appear in the Build JDK list when you configure a job's builder (see Configuring tasks). The JDK you select will be used for every one of that job's builds. That is, the job can only be built by agents which have a JDK capability whose label is specified in the job's Build JDK field.

1 This depends on the system environment variables (e.g. 'JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/java_sdk1.5') that were present on the machine on which Bamboo was installed:

  • On the Bamboo server, environment variables that were present during installation were saved as shared local capabilities in Bamboo.
  • On remote agents, environment variables that were present during installation were saved as agent-specific capabilities in Bamboo.
