    • Windows MSI installer for Jenkins

      The Windows installer for Jenkins should recommend Java 11, especially if it detects Java 8 as the current JVM. (Split out into JENKINS-68170.)

      When Jenkins requires Java 11 or newer, the Windows installer should prevent installation if it detects that the Jenkins war file will be run with Java 8. When Java 11 is required, attempts to run with Java 8 should be expected to fail.
