I did switch and let Jenkins configure it and it does work great. The issue I have now is that when I run the build.xml through Jenkins on the slave, it does not read the properties from the environment using:
<property environment="env"/> If I run it manually from a cmd windows on the server it does. Seems to be the way the slave handles system variables. Does it suppress them somehow or do I need to change my ANT code to read it as a normal property inherited from the Master?

It will really make your life simpler. If the public ant versions don't suit your needs, you can even just package the one you need, upload it somewhere in your company and tell Jenkins to install this version instead of the plugin one. (This message is sent from the guy who didn't do it originally... And infra eventually became unmanageable when growing, until we finally switch to this mode afterwards :)) Le 6 févr. 2014 22:15, "Les Mikesell" <[email protected]> a écrit : On Thu, Feb 6, 2014 at 3:11 PM, Mark Waite <[email protected]> wrote: >> The easiest way with Ant is to use the Jenkins global configuration to >> configure an Ant installation, and have it download that Ant installation >> from Apache.
