How can I configure a Hudson job to use a specific JDK?
- by rewbs
I have a number of projects running on a Hudson slave. I'd like one of them to run Ant under Java6, rather than the default (which is Java5 in my environment).
In the project configuration view, I was hoping to find either:
An explicit option allowing me to set a custom JDK location to use for this project.
A way to set custom environment variables for this project, which would allow me to set
JAVA_HOME to the JDK6 location. The would make Ant pick up and run on Java6 as desired.
Is there a way to do either of the above? If one of those facilities is available, I can't see how to access it. I'm running on Hudson 1.285.
I would rather avoid using an "execute shell" operation instead of the "invoke Ant" operation if possible: my slave is on z/OS and Hudson doesn't seem to create the temporary shell scripts properly on this platform (probably an encoding issue).
