Why doesn't the Ant Configuration in my Jenkins appear under Global Tool Configuration?
See the image below:
There are only tabs for JDK and Maven.
In the other references I checked, there are others like Git and Ant, etc.
Make sure that the Ant Plugin is installed in your Jenkins instance. Go to Manage Jenkins -> Manage Plugins and search for the plugin there under the Available tab.

How can I load a custom jar file for my Jenkins Jobs DSL groovy scripts without the classpath field?
I've inherited a Jenkins instance. This Jenkins instance has an older version of the Jenkins Jobs DSL plugin. This version of the jobs plugin has a class path fields
By loading this jar file, my script (in the DSL Scripts) has additional symbols/classes it may import.
However, the latest versions of the Jenkins Jobs DSL have removed this class path field. The impression I get from the mailing list) is this was done for security reasons.
Without this option, is it possible to set a different class path (or include extra jar files in my Jenkins Jobs DSL groovy scripts without this field?
No, there isn't any direct option available. Following are the options available
Option 1: As Daniel has suggested (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/job-dsl-plugin/lYgX3boW0Pk) , you can use the Script Security Plugin to add custom classpath and include the jar(s). The only overhead with this approach is, even if there is a minor difference in the jar, an approval would be required.
Option 2(Least Preferred, Last Option): If you are running Jenkins under a company network and if your confident on security, then you can consider to uncheck the Enable Security for Job DSL from Jenkins-> Configure Global Secutiry
I am using Jenkins version 2.85 and trying to invoke or add ANT plugin. However, I can't see "Invoke ANT" option under Global Tool Configuration.
I have configured ANT and verified the version as follows.
Apache Ant(TM) version 1.10.1 compiled on February 2 2017
Trying the default build file: build.xml
Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
Build failed
Kindly let me know how can I get "Invoke ANT" option.
Thanks,

You probably need to install Jenkins ANT plugin for that.
Install Ant Plugin by going to Manage Jenkins -> Manage Plugins -> Available Tab and search for Ant and install all the relevant ant plugin.
Configure ant plugin by going to Manage Jenkins -> Global Tool Configuration.
You'll see an option Ant, either install Ant if you don't have on the local system or if you have ant configured on your local system, directly provide the ANT_HOME.
I want to update jenkins(currently using jdk 6;to upgrade jenkins i need jdk7) but so, many application in my jenkins server use jdk6.So, I cannot update java.So, I want to copy java binary in folder like /home/username/java and I want to make jenkins use /home/username/java while updating.So, the other programs don't get disturbed(Most of them use which java and get the java installation example:maven and some other tools I am not aware of).Is there a config file which can be edited to make jenkins use a java in a specific folder(while installing or updating).
There is a JDK dropdown in "job name" -> Configure in Jenkins web UI. It will list all JDKs available in Jenkins configuration.
You can add new JDKs through Manage Jenkins -> Global Tool Configuration -> JDK.
Here is a visual of where you should configure additional JDKs in Jenkins:
I'm very new with Jenkins. I have tried to run projects on Jenkins but all are fail. I don't know whether the configuration is wrong or something. I have read the instruction on the jenkins-ci.org but I didn't understand anything. Anyone can give me a demo with Java project? By the way, show me the Jenkins configuration. Thanks all!
First question, do you want to build a Maven project?
If the answer is yes, you can create a new job with this template "Build a maven project".
You just have to configure your SCM tool (Git, SVN, ...) and when you want to pool your code (cron tab).
Next, in the build section, you have to declare your Maven goals (clean install for example) and the pom.xml file location (if the pom.xml file is not in the root folder).
That's all.
I am trying to deploy from Jenkins to Archiva. I'm not very sure how it all works. I have a maven project and I have read that I need to change a settings.xml file. I cannot find such a file in my Archiva 2.0 directories.
While in Jenkins I am using the ArtifactDeployer plugin. When I try to enter the directory from which to get the artifacts there is an error saying it does not exist.
How can I resolve this problem?
Within Jenkins, you need to register the build tools that Jenkins will use.
In regard to the buld tool Maven, I suggest:
Download, unzip, and install Apache Maven to the server on which Jenkins runs.
Configure your Maven's conf/settings.xml to point to your Archiva installation.
Configure the M2_HOME and PATH variables so that the mvn command can be executed.
Configure Jenkins to use the Apache Maven installation that you just configured.
The point is, that's a sure fire way to locate and edit a settings.xml file.
If you have Jenkins download Maven for you (I generally don't do this), then you'll have to look for a path to where Jenkins installed Maven.
