how to deploy jenkins on the jetty correctly?

I'm trying to deploy jenkins on the jetty application server as follows:

Unpack the distribution

[~]$ unzip jetty-distribution-9.3.2.v20150730
[~]$ cd jetty-distribution-9.3.2.v20150730

Copy your war into place

[jetty-distribution-9.3.2.v20150730]$ cp ~/Projects/mywebapp.war webapps/

Run Jetty

[jetty-distribution-9.3.2.v20150730]$ java -jar start.jar

My version of java is:

$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_80"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_80-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.80-b11, mixed mode)

I am getting the following message:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/eclipse/jetty/start/Main : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

Which version of the jetty I use with version 7 of java?

回答1:

Java 7 is now EOL (End of Life) with Oracle.

Would highly recommend you use Java 8 from here on out.

Jenkins runs fine on Java 8 and Jetty 9.3.2 (the Jetty project themselves do this).

回答2:

Jetty 9.3.x runs only with Java 1.8. Jetty 9.0.x - 9.2.x runs with Java 1.7, so download latest stable 9.2.13.v20150730.
