> We have a Jenkins controller and 3 agents (one of each application). I have multiple pipelines to deploy 3 different Java/J2EE legacy applications. They are not microservices applications. Jenkins & the applications currently uses Java 1.8. We are in the process of upgrading one of the application to Java version 11. How do I run Jenkins on two version of Java (8 & 11)? Can I have Java 1.8 in the controller and Java 11 in an agent?
