Set Java version

This Step helps you activate pre-installed Java (JDK) version on the build virtual machine.

Description

This Step is not supposed to install any Java version on the fly. You can only pick from the already installed versions. If you want to install other Java versions, check out Using a Java version not installed on our Android stacks.

Configuring the Step

In the Java version to be set globally for the build input, select an installed Java version you wish to use during the build run.

Troubleshooting

If the Step fails to set the Java version, you can use these scripts as a temporary workaround.
