|
||
We have worked hard for this and it's now here. | ||
We are thrilled to announce **full support for Java 11 in Jenkins** starting from Jenkins 2.164 (released on Feb 10, 2019) and LTS 2.164.1 (ETA: March 14th). | ||
This means you can now run your Jenkins masters and agents with a Java 11 JVM. | ||
|
||
Starting in June 2018, many events were organized to improve Jenkins code base and add Java 11 support. | ||
Beyond these events, Core/Plugins maintainers and many other contributors have worked hard to make sure they discover and solve as many issues as possible related to Java 11 support. | ||
|
||
The effort to support Java 11 led to the creation of the https://github.com/jenkinsci/jep/blob/master/jep/211/README.adoc[JEP-211: Java 10+ support in Jenkins]. | ||
It also spurred the creation of the https://jenkins.io/sigs/platform[Platform Special Interest Group] to coordinate the Java 11 work and other platform support efforts. | ||
|
||
== Celebration | ||
|
||
We'd like to take a moment to thank everyone involved in these tasks: code contributors, issue reporters, testers, event planners and attendees and all those in the community who have generously lent their time and support to this effort. | ||

||
== Guidelines | ||
|
||
In order to keep it simple, here is how you can start Jenkins on Java 11 using the Docker image. | ||
You can select a Java 11 based image by suffixing the tag of the image with `-jdk11`. | ||
If you are upgrading an existing instance please read the link:/doc/administration/requirements/upgrade-java-guidelines/[Upgrading Jenkins Java version from 8 to 11] page before upgrading. | ||
|
||
So you can run Jenkins on Java 11 with: | ||
|
||
[source, shell] | ||
---- | ||
docker run -p 50000:50000 -p 8080:8080 jenkins/jenkins:2.164-jdk11 | ||
---- | ||
|
||
However, and as always, you can still start Jenkins with other methods. | ||
Please see the more detailed documentation at link:/doc/administration/requirements/jenkins-on-java-11[Running Jenkins on Java 11]. | ||
|
||
== Developer guidelines | ||
|
||
For developers involved in Jenkins development, you can find details on developing and testing Jenkins to run on Java 11 on the link:https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Java+11+Developer+Guidelines[Java 11 Developer Guidelines]. | ||
|
||
This resource regroups the modifications which might need to be done in order to validate the compatibility of plugins for Java 11. | ||
|
||
== What's next | ||
|
||
Even though this is a big achievement, we still have work to do. | ||
|
||
Our first priority is adding Java 11 support to link:https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkinsfile-runner[JenkinsFile Runner] project. | ||
From there, we will move on to port Java 11 support to the link:https://github.com/jenkins-x[Jenkins X] project and the link:projects/evergreen/[Evergreen] project. | ||
|
||
So, even if this is a big deal to us, this is not the end of the story. | ||
It is a major step that will benefit users, developers, and members of the Jenkins community. | ||
