Cause

The JDK being used on the machine where the Remote Agent is installed is not supported by the version of Bamboo being run.

Resolution

Ensure that the JDK version is supported by Bamboo. Please see our Supported platforms page for which versions are supported.

  • JDK 1.6 is supported up to Bamboo 5.7

  • JDK 1.7 is supported by Bamboo 3.3 to 5.7

  • JDK 1.8 is supported by Bamboo 5.8 and above
