Runs a shell command of your choice to install the tool. Ubuntu example,
assuming the Jenkins user is in /etc/sudoers
:
sudo apt-get --yes install openjdk-6-jdk
(In this case specify /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk
as the home directory.)
As another example, to install Sun JDK 6 for (x86) Linux, you can use DLJ:
bin=jdk-6u13-dlj-linux-i586.bin if [ \! -f $bin ] then wget --no-verbose http://download.java.net/dlj/binaries/$bin sh $bin --unpack --accept-license fi
(In this case specify jdk1.6.0_13
as the home directory.)
