my Jenkins start-up script works with Java7 – but not with Java8

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28665783/starting-https-jenkins-server-on-127-0-0-1
• https://wiki.wocommunity.org/display/documentation/Installing+and+Configuring+Jenkins – I will have to look into the description of httpsKeyStore etc, once I will decide to run Jenkins using Java8 instead of Java7

My Synology Diskstation DS713+ has successfully hosted Jenkins1 resp. Jenkins2 for several months now.

Today I found, there is a Java8 “package” available for my Synology Diskstation DS713+. I installed it.

I also installed Jenkins-2.009, and I restarted Jenkins, but to no success. It took me a while to figure out, how Java8 affected my Jenkins problem.

This is what I searched for (using DuckDuckGo):

jenkins “Failed to start a listener: winstone.HttpsConnectorFactory”

The article listed above was the very 1st hit.
