I have a look at the configuration of the Matrix Job at Apaches Jenkins instance
https://builds.apache.org/job/Ant-Build-Matrix/configure We have a special job [1] for openJDK8. I think this was introduced in the time when Java8 was not released. No we have several Java8 installations available on the matrix: Open JDK 1.8 (Only on ubuntu nodes) + jdk-1.8.0 Should we - add these two to the build matrix? - change the openJDK8 job to use Java9? There is a timeout of 30min. Three of six (sounds like a Borg name ;) took over 20min: - JDK 1.6 @ Windows [2] - JDK 1.7 @ Windows [3] - JDK 1.5 @ Windows [4] Should we increase that timeout? The build is started via Ant 1.8.2 (launch-build.xml), which launches build.[sh|bat]. Just for that operation 1.8.2 is fine, but we could update the Ant version.
