How can you verify that the environment you typed in to your build job of "java-1.7" and "maven-3.2.1" is correctly mapped to the tool installer names you have typed into the CI system of "java-1.7" and "maven-3.2.1" Where would it make sense - except on the CI server - to validate those labels? The fancier mapping is config in Jenkins to allow Jenkins to understand that e.g. "jdk-1.7" means "java-1.7"... in other words this is about telling jenkins what the labels in CI mean... that is config that only makes sense to the CI server. > > -- > Les Mikesell > lesmikes...@gmail.com > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Jenkins Users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to jenkinsci-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
