Jenkins uses different version of Maven than cmd

First I installed Maven version 3.0.5 on our build system and then I upgraded it to 3.6.0 following this guide https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-apache-maven-on-centos-7/ . Using the cmdline on the system executing:

mvn -v

I always get 3.6.0 as the version. But when executing the same command in a Jenkins job I get 3.0.5 . So somewhere it looks like it still refers to the older version. But I have no clue where. Any ideas how to check this?

The version you see in the shell depends on your PATH variable.

Jenkins can handle multiple installations of maven. To configure it:

  • Open the Jenkins dashboard.
  • Go to Manage Jenkins.
  • Go to Global Tool Configuration
  • Go to the Maven section and click Maven installations

When adding a new installation, you have 2 options:

  • install a selected version automatically
  • use existing installation on your system

Then, when configuring a project in jenkins, you can select one of the configured installations.

  • For Maven Project under Build / Maven Version
  • For Freestyle project under Build Steps / Build / Invoke top level maven targets / Maven Version
