Hello, I'm trying to decide, whether I should use JDK8 or JDK11 to run Jenkins. So far I have been using JDK8.
If I look at the documentation, I find: "Installing Jenkins" https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/ points to "Java Requirements" https://www.jenkins.io/doc/administration/requirements/java/ which says - "Java 8 runtime environments, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions are supported" - "Since Jenkins 2.164 and 2.164.1 [1 <https://www.jenkins.io/doc/administration/requirements/java/#_footnotedef_1> ], Java 11 runtime environments are supported - Running Jenkins with Java 11 is documented here <https://www.jenkins.io/doc/administration/requirements/jenkins-on-java-11> - There are some precautions to take when upgrading from Java 8 to Java 11 in Jenkins, please follow these guidelines <https://www.jenkins.io/doc/administration/requirements/upgrade-java-guidelines> ." So this sounds like "both JDK8 and JDK11 are supported" But the "fine print" below JDK11 sounds different: https://www.jenkins.io/doc/administration/requirements/upgrade-java-guidelines/ So what is the current recommendation: Use JDK8 ? JDK11 ? Give JDK11 a try and report issues ? Is an update planned to make JDK11 the preferred version ?
