      There is a number of installer update tickets in the EPIC, but we really need to understand what really needs to be updated. It this task I am about checking the installers shipped by the Jenkins community only.

          [JENKINS-56429] Investigate Java compatibility in installers

          Production

          • Windows installer needs an update, there is already a task for it in the CJD scope
          • RPM-based builds to not check Java 11 alternatives in default paths
          • There are some outdated user-facing message entries in Windows installer and Debian specs. Java 9 references, Java 8 requirements. I have polished it during the review
          •  MacOS installers are fine, except docs

          Test Automation

          • Some installer tests use distfork, and hence they won’t work wit Jenkins 2.165+. Something to keep in mind for the future
