Hi,

The Dutch Rabobank Organization is using Jenkins concerning Continuous 
Integration of mainly Java sources. With regards to afore mentioned the 
following. It is concerning to get two major problems solved in connection with 
our Jenkins CI system. The combination of the problems is hindering us from 
upgrading our Jenkins installation.

The problems are:

-          Windows crashing with a Blue Screen of Death

-          The Fortify plugin no longer works above Jenkins version 1.509.4

The context of our system is as follows.

Configuration:

-          One Master:     on a dedicated server

-          Two Slaves:       each slave is using a separate server

-          Jenkins version 1.509.4

-          The Operating System installed on each server is:          Windows 
2008 R2 Enterprise SP1

We are using Windows because of the enterprise Active Directory to authorize 
users in Jenkins using smart logon. Afore mentioned is no option with regards 
to our Unix/Linux systems.

On our system Jenkins build jobs are also used for scanning sources using 
Fortify. Therefore the Fortify plugin is installed. At the moment we are using 
Fortify SSC web-application version 4.02. The Fortify client (SCA) application 
is installed on each Jenkins server. The version of the Fortify plugin is: 3.81.

The Fortify plugin is working in Jenkins 1.509.4 using a workaround. The 
workaround is: renaming the fortify-common-4.02.jar file in the Fortify client 
installation ...\Core\lib folder to fortify-common-3.80.jar.  If we upgrade 
Jenkins on the test system, than afore mentioned workaround is no longer 
sufficient. Additional the workaround concerning to using Fortify mentioned on 
the Jenkins-ci.org website does not work. The workaround meant is: 
https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-21332. More specific: unpacking 
the classes.jar in WEB-INF\classes. One of the symptoms is: in the Jenkins 
configuration Jenkins is not going to connect to Fortify.

With regards to the above described situation our question to you: how are we 
able to upgrade Jenkins on Windows to the latest LTS version and also use the 
Fortify plugin?

Looking forward to your reply, kind regards,

Gerrit Wessels
