Multiple JDK capabilities on single remote agent

[MatthewLowe]

Hi all,

Is it possible to enable remote agent to use multiple JDKs? I have several projects which require different JDKs and I was wondering, whether Bamboo has capability to switch between JDKs depending on which JDK plan requires. Thanks.

Hi, Matthew.

There's actually a difference between the JDK that the agent uses to run and the capabilities you have.

The agent will only run using a single JDK, but that doesn't mean that you cannot use different and several JDK to run builds, if you need.

Make sure you have at least one JDK visible, that the agent uses it and for the others, you can install them in the server and use capabilities to use them in your builds:

I hope it was helpful.
