Add support of Java-less slaves (typically for WinRT / Windows on ARM)

XMLWordPrintable

      Probably as many users, we use Jenkins to perform tests on different kinds of OS.

      We now have to test WinRT / Windows on ARM, but it does not support Java (and might never support Java).

      So, would it be possible to have a Java-less equivalent of the slave.jar?

      Thanks,
      Best Regards
      Benoit

          Sorry, there is no way—the slave agent is just a bootstrapper which loads arbitrary Java code from plugins running build steps and more. You would need to run a slave agent on a proxy machine of some kind and then configure your job to run some sort of remote command on the WinRT system.

          Ok thanks for the quick answer.
          Indeed, what you suggests was our Plan B.
