[JENKINS-12505] Automatically install JDK 7 only lists 1 version, is not clear which it is

[timja]

In Manage, under JDK, check "Install automatically." Under "Install from java.sun.com" expand the "version" drop down.

Notice that under Java 6, 5, and 4, the exact version of Java is listed (for example, 6u29) so you know exactly what version of Java is being referenced. For Java 7, there is only 1 option: "Java SE Development Kit 7."

There have been 3 version of JDK 7 released so far (7, 7u1, and 7u2) and each of the updates has fixed important runtime and compile time issues, so knowing which is used is particularly important.

So which Java 7 is being referenced? And why aren't the other 2 listed?

The problem is that the list http://mirrors.jenkins-ci.org/updates/updates/hudson.tools.JDKInstaller.json is not showing 7u[123]. My understanding is that Oracle changed the layout of their site and the crawler isn't finding the newer Javas.

Is there any updates on this?

docwhat:

FYI: The version shown is Java7 (no updates). So 7u1, 7u2, and 7u3 are missing.

It seems that the problem was fixed nowadays.
The Java SE Development Kit 7, 7u1, 7u2 and 7u3 are listed in my installation of Jenkins 1.463.
