I don't really use Maven that much but I do build Jenkins from time to time.
Jenkins has at least two ways of doing a Maven build. 1) If you choose a "maven2/3 project" type when creating a job, Jenkins will not call mvn.bat when building. Instead it will load Maven classes and call them directly. I believe it will use the same jvm as is used to run Jenkins itself. I.e. use the same jvm for running Jenkins. 2) If you choose a freestyle project when creating a job, you can freely specify the command to run your build and set any environment variables the way you want. This would allow you to build your Maven project with a different jvm than used to run Jenkins. You will lose some things... you have to tell Jenkins where the test results are found and where are the build artifact to archive. -- Sami 2012/2/14 Dünnebeil Gerhard <gerhard.duenneb...@ait.ac.at>: > Hello everybody, > > > > recently I started using slave builds with jenkins. > > > > My configuration is Jenkins on a ubuntu (11.10) box and a slave with windows > XP. > > > > With that I ran into the following problem: > > > > I have two versions of java (one jre and one jdk) installed on my windows > machine.
