by Sebastien Mirolo on Wed, 16 Nov 2022
A latest update of Jenkins (version 3.6) triggered an required upgrade
to Java 11. The process to upgrade from Java8 to Java11 on Amazon Linux2
is pretty straightforward.
Terminal
$ sudo amazon-linux-extras install java-openjdk11 $ java -version openjdk version "1.8.0_332" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_332-b09) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.332-b09, mixed mode) $ sudo alternatives --config java $ java -version openjdk version "11.0.16" 2022-07-19 LTS OpenJDK Runtime Environment (Red_Hat-11.0.16.0.8-1.amzn2.0.1) (build 11.0.16+8-LTS) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (Red_Hat-11.0.16.0.8-1.amzn2.0.1) (build 11.0.16+8-LTS, mixed mode, sharing) $ sudo systemctl restart jenkins.service
Et Voila!
