Jenkins not finding JAVA_HOME

Question

Trying to paste where I have the Java JDK installed, but Jenkins keeps saying:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_11\bin doesn’t look like a JDK directory

Also tried C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_11\bin\java and got:

not a directory on the Jenkins master (but perhaps it exists on some slaves)

Anyone what the last folder/file should be? I am assuming bin\java but that is giving me trouble.

`JAVA_HOME` should be pointed to parent directory of `bin` not to the `bin` — jmj, Jul 26 '14 at 19:25

It's because the path you mentioned is different from what Jenkins has stored. Go to Manage Jenkins-> System Information->Environment Variables You can see JAVA_HOME copy the path and save it. Issue will be resolved

/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/

This is what worked in my case.
