      We have migrated from Hudson to Jenkins. We decided to create a new buildmaster, since we also faced some issue with the old master.
      On the new master we defined only 1 JDK.
      All builds try to install the new JDK (1.6.23) and on a number of systems (windows) this gave an issue.

      The JDK gets installed in ../tools/1.6.23, but the public JRE get installed in C:\Program Files\Java\jre6
      That influences already installed Java installation(s).
      On a number of machine we had to remove all Java installation and do a manual installation again to get it back up and running.

      For windows the public JRE has to be skipped I think.
      That can be done with the following command: ADDLOCAL="ToolsFeature,DemosFeature,SourceFeature"
      Or the install directory of the public JRE has to be defined as well: /INSTALLDIRPUBJRE=...
      That is not done right now.

      This issue is very frustrating and causing a lot of issue and loss of time.
