Jenkins ssh-node doesn't find Java

Question

I try to connect Jenkins to a windows-machine, but during the connection process Jenkins tells me that it couldn't find java even thought I installed the newest Java-Version.

    [10/19/18 14:00:30] [SSH] Checking java version of /usr/local/java/bin/java
Couldn't figure out the Java version of /usr/local/java/bin/java

java.io.IOException: Java not found on hudson.slaves.SlaveComputer@d671ca. Install a Java 8 version on the Agent.

Answer 1

Type which java in the slave agent and paste the path in the environment variables of the node in Jenkins

NAME: JAVA_HOME

Answer 2
