Here I will show you how to manage Jenkins – configuring JDK, GIT and Maven installations. We build mainly Java applications (also .NET applications) using Jenkins.

Therefore we need to have everything which are required to perform build operation of Java applications, i.e., we need to have JDK, GIT or SVN or any other source repository and Maven or Gradle configured into Jenkins in order to build the applications.
