From 651034bf668f0680e4e08ce4fcb27cc5d833288f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Waite Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2018 15:20:30 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Redirect to Wikipedia for Java 11 Web Start deprecation Oracle announced in March 2018 that it will not include Java Web Start in Java SE 11. Jenkins provides a "Java Web Start" button to simplify launching of clients with Java Web Start. That simplified start technique is often used for Windows agents. Jenkins on Java 11 can't use that button because the underlying Java implementation does not support it. The communication protocol used by agent.jar continues to be fully supported and operational with Java 11. Only the Java Web Start button from the web page is not supported in Java 11. See [JENKINS-52282] and https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/3766 for more details. --- content/redirect/java11-java-web-start.adoc | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) create mode 100644 content/redirect/java11-java-web-start.adoc diff --git a/content/redirect/java11-java-web-start.adoc b/content/redirect/java11-java-web-start.adoc new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..ffe9d8d2c480 --- /dev/null +++ b/content/redirect/java11-java-web-start.adoc @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +--- +layout: redirect +redirect_url: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Web_Start#Deprecation +---
