[steelhead31]

The next LTS version of Jenkins will require a minimum of JAVA 17 to run agents..

MOST of the current jenkins infrastructure runs on Java 17 or later however there are a number of machines ( see the table below ) that require updates..

There are 3 main tranches of agent upgrade that needs to be considered:

• EPIC: Investigate Solution For Running Jenkins Agent On Solaris with Java 17 #3742 The Solaris agents will need an extensive solution ( see this 2nd Epic )
• Update Eclipse Codesigning Machine To Run Jenkins Agent With JDK 17 #3743 The Eclipse Codesign Machine Requires A Java Upgrade performed by EF Infra
• Upgrade Jenkins JDK11 Agents To Run With JDK17 #3744 Update JDK11 nodes to JDK17
