咨询：Jenkins 1.651.3中如何获取Maven 3.5.0及以上版本

Got it, let's tackle this problem head-on. Jenkins 1.651.3 is a pretty dated release, so its built-in Maven installer doesn't include newer versions like 3.5.0 by default. Here are two key parts to solve this: getting Maven 3.5.0 working with your Jenkins instance, and trying to get the installer to recognize newer versions.

Fixing the Maven 3.5.0 Compatibility Issue #

The most reliable way (especially for older Jenkins versions) is to install Maven manually on your server and then point Jenkins to it:

1. Manually install Maven 3.5.0 on your Jenkins server

   • SSH into the server running Jenkins.
   • Download the Maven 3.5.0 binary archive:

     wget https://archive.apache.org/dist/maven/maven-3/3.5.0/binaries/apache-maven-3.5.0-bin.tar.gz
     

   • Extract it to a stable directory (e.g., /opt/maven):

     sudo tar -xzf apache-maven-3.5.0-bin.tar.gz -C /opt/maven/
     

   • (Optional) Set up environment variables so the system recognizes Maven globally:
     Edit your shell profile (e.g., ~/.bashrc or /etc/profile) and add:

     export MAVEN_HOME=/opt/maven/apache-maven-3.5.0
     export PATH=$MAVEN_HOME/bin:$PATH
     

     Apply the changes with source ~/.bashrc.

2. Configure Jenkins to use the manually installed Maven

   • Open your Jenkins dashboard, go to Manage Jenkins > Global Tool Configuration.
   • Scroll down to the Maven section.
   • Click Add Maven, then uncheck the Install automatically box.
   • Give this Maven installation a name (e.g., Maven 3.5.0), then paste the path to your installed Maven in the MAVEN_HOME field (/opt/maven/apache-maven-3.5.0 in our example).
   • Save the configuration. Now when you set up or edit a Jenkins job, you can select this Maven 3.5.0 version from the Maven dropdown.

Getting the Jenkins Installer to Recognize Newer Maven Versions #

If you prefer using Jenkins' automatic installer, here's what you can try (note: success depends on plugin compatibility with your old Jenkins version):

1. Update the Maven Installer Plugin

   • Go to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins.
   • Switch to the Available tab, search for Maven Installer.
   • Check if there's an updated version of the plugin that's compatible with Jenkins 1.651.3. Install it, then restart Jenkins.
   • After restarting, go back to Global Tool Configuration > Maven—you should now see newer Maven versions (including 3.5.0) in the dropdown when you check Install automatically.

2. Manually enter the Maven version

   • Some older Jenkins versions let you bypass the dropdown and manually type the version number. Go to Global Tool Configuration > Maven, click Add Maven, check Install automatically, then type 3.5.0 directly into the Version field.
   • Save the configuration—Jenkins will attempt to download and install Maven 3.5.0 automatically. If this works, great! If not, stick with the manual installation method above.

Important Note #

Jenkins 1.651.3 is no longer supported (it was released in 2016), so you might run into other compatibility issues with newer tools or plugins. If possible, upgrading to a supported Jenkins version is the long-term solution—but if you're stuck with 1.651.3, the manual installation method is your safest bet.
