Right, sorry, I misunderstood, I assumed Raj was using Java 7 VM for running Jenkins already, but he didn't tell this part.
@Raj: if you're still using a JDK6, then yes, you better indeed upgrade everything to JDK8 while in the go. If already using JDK7, then you should be fine, but you want to plan to upgrade to JDK8 everywhere probably also while at it to avoid headaches with the upcoming baseline upgrade (next month for first weekly, early June for first LTS requiring Java 8). 2017-02-27 20:32 GMT+01:00 Peter McNab <[email protected]>: > No to what? > > Jenkins 1.608 made slaves require Java7, so it might impact Raj's upgrade > attempts. > > I know the Java8 change hasn't been made, but it's coming soon as well. > > Java7 has been around a long time, but so have the platforms I support, > and we we moved up to a version that supported pipelines a number of the > older platform slaves stopped working and some users had to scramble to > adjust their jobs. > > Pete > > On 2/27/2017 11:16 AM, Baptiste Mathus wrote: > > Well, no.
