Unable to install successfully Continuous Delivery Edition a.k.a CDE Jenkins plugin
1) In my jenkins installed Plugin list window there is CDE Jenkins Plugin
<Please see attached file for image>
In the CDE Plug-in section, enter the following details:
Plugin requires JRE 1.8, as Jenkins-plugin was compiled on java 1.8
There are two resolutions to the problem
Solution 1
1. Uninstall the CDE plugin from Jenkins-> Manage Plugin-> Installed (select the CDE plugin and click uninstall)
2. Uninstall the existing JAVA and Jenkins on the Jenkins Server
3. Install JRE 1.8 and post installation of JRE make sure environment variable JAVA_HOME is correctly set
4. Install Jenkins a afresh
