A capability is a feature of an agent. A capability can be a:

  • builder (e.g. Maven)
  • JDK
  • custom capability (a key-value property which defines a particular characteristic of an agent, e.g. 'operating.system=WindowsXP' or 'fast.builds=true')
  • Perforce (location of the P4 client application, if Perforce is being used as the source repository)

Capabilities can be defined specifically for an agent, or they can be shared between either all local agents or all remote agents. Note that the value of an agent-specific capability overrides the value of a shared capability of the same name (if one exists).

Note:

A requirement is an agent capability required by a build plan.

Together, capabilities and requirements control which agents can execute builds for particular plans. Each plan can only be built by agents whose capabilities meet the plan's requirements. Matching can be specified as either a regular expression or an exact match. See 1.2.4 Specifying a Plan's Capability Requirements.
