Problem: when upgraded to jdk 1.8.x it is not possible to upgrade jenkins by putting war file.Therefore platform should be built from scratch.


to verify installations on command prompt

maven
mvn --version

M2=C:\Downloads\apache-maven\bin
M2_HOME=C:\Downloads\apache-maven
MAVEN_OPTS=-Xms256m -Xmx512m

Download jenkins  war file.At the time of download version is (1.535)

http://jenkins-ci.org/

Copy war file into C:\Downloads\ciroot\jenkinshome

I set jenkins home directory and the port through this file.In case of any update on jenkins I simply replace war file in jenkins_home directory. I use "jenkins start.cmd" file to run jenkins.

@echo off cd C:\Downloads\ciroot\jenkinshome SET JENKINS_HOME=C:\Downloads\ciroot\jenkinshome java -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=8888 Start command prompt or double click on "jenkins start.cmd"
At first run jenkins asks you to configure updates/security
I create jenkins user.
After installation this is how jenkins looks like

 

Click Manage Jenkins - Configure System

Point jdk installation

Point ant installation

You can create users.This is how jenkins looks like at the end
