Mark, I am sincerely sorry if my sense of humor offended. I'm not sure why you thought I was determined to proceed on any particular path. I was willing to try the master/slave route as you suggested, and I asked a further question as to whether I would end up having the same problem on the slave - then I utterly failed to comprehend your answer. My joke was at my own expense and my own failure to get what you were saying.
I sincerely appreciate your efforts to assist me. I no longer require any help on this particular topic, however, since I have since been able to bypass the problem by using the "JGit" mode of the git plugin, which does not have the problem and has worked well so far. Although I _am_ having one odd Java error getting thrown at the end of my builds (I have created a different post on this topic). I have no idea if the problem would have happened using the native git open of the git plugin, or whether it's related to the JGit option, since I never got that far before. As for my experiences using Jenkins master(s) on AIX, it is limited to this one machine, for the last 7 years. It has been working fine using Java 1.6 and Jenkins 1.5(something?) for all of that. It was using Mercurial as its source repository, and our Mercural server is being retired, so I was mandated to move my source code to git. I then had to go through the process of upgrading Jenkins and Java so I could use the git plugin. Thus begins my sad tale. As for OpenJDK, that was actually my first choice for upgrading. I searched all over the OpenJDK website for a link to a download for their JDK8 for AIX, and could not find it. The page I _did_ find, however, mentioned that OpenJDK8 supports AIX 7.1 and later. The machine I am working with is on AIX 6.1, and thus could not use the OpenJDK8 port for AIX even if I could have found it. I cannot upgrade this machine to AIX 7.1. I have to remain compatible to support AIX 6.1 because the software it is compiling is a legacy product for which my company still gets a decent amount of license revenue. I would be happy to join the platform group, though I am not sure of what assistance I might be. While I have used Jenkins on Linux, AIX, HPUX, and Windows, my experience is limited to simple master setups building a legacy C/C++ project. Again, thank you for your assistance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
