Jenkins "Failed to install JDK" Exit code=-1

(Adding this here as I did not find an answer anywhere)
I configured Jenkins to automatically install JDK from the "Global Tools Configuration" > "JDK Installation" menu. The option works across all 14 nodes (various Windows and Linux) but one.
A server Windows Server 2012 R2 (amd64) with 20 executors, which has been running without issue for just under 3 years.
The log file references in the build's console (i.e. ...tools\hudson.model.JDK\install1873722508778839961log) is empty.
The build's console shows the following:
[EnvInject] - Loading node environment variables. Installing

I logged onto the server as a local admin and attempted to run the JDK installation line shown in the build console:
E:\Jenkins_APA_8080\tools\hudson.model.JDK\Oracle_Java_8.0_191\jdk.exe
/s ADDLOCAL="ToolsFeature" REBOOT=ReallySuppress
INSTALLDIR=E:\Jenkins_APA_8080\tools\hudson.model.JDK\Oracle_Java_8.0_191
/L E:\Jenkins_APA_8080\tools\hudson.model.JDK
The installation seemed to run and this time the log file contained text. I double checked the owner and permissions on the Jenkins folders and they were owned by a local admin and not a domain admin (this is normal for our Jenkins installation).
However, the login credentials of the Jenkins service on this machine were set to a domain admin (not local admin).
Changing the Jenkins Services Log On credentials resolved the issue. Even though this node has been running for over a couple years without issue, its credentials were not correct.

I think the problem is in the configuration of tomcat but I don't understand where.
I have tomcat7.0.52, use java version 1.7.0_60, idem for jdk.
At my colleague work all without problems, we have the same tomcat version, the only difference is that I have STS 3.6 RELEASE, and He have the 3.5.
EDIT:
I try to delete server, and recreate it, but the problem don't change.
I think that the problem is on wrong configuration server because any project I run give me the same error.
This is my catalina arguments:
-Dcatalina.base="/home/paola/Documenti/sts-bundle/vfabric-tc-server-developer-2.9.6.RELEASE/base-instance"
-Dcatalina.home="/home/paola/Documenti/sts-bundle/vfabric-tc-server-developer-2.9.6.RELEASE/tomcat-7.0.53.B.RELEASE"
-Dwtp.deploy="/home/paola/Documenti/sts-bundle/vfabric-tc-server-developer-2.9.6.RELEASE/base-instance/wtpwebapps"
-Djava.endorsed.dirs="/home/paola/Documenti/sts-bundle/vfabric-tc-server-developer-2.9.6.RELEASE/tomcat-7.0.53.B.RELEASE/endorsed" -Xmx768m -Xss256k -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-Dinsight.enabled=false -Dspring.profiles.active=dev
Any ideas?
Thank

It looks like the problem is with the version of Tomcat that tcServer is derived from.
This bug which is fixed in Tomcat 7.0.55 is looks like the cause.
I've done some testing and found that the bug is not present in Tomcat 7.0.50, which is used by tcServer Dev Edition 2.9.5.SR1.
So it's either 7.0.51 or 7.0.52 (as you discovered) which introduced the bug.

Unable to start server in Eclipse Gallileo IDE with WAS7

Server not starting in Eclipse Gallileo IDE with WAS7.
I run the server from outside of Eclipse but I want to start it from within the eclipse
Below are the details of my Workspace configurations :
Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
WAS 7.0
An alert is coming saying "Cannot connect to VM socket closed".
I got the following exception in console :
JVMSHRC154E Escape character g not valid for cache name
<JIT: FullSpeedDebug: ignoring countString>
<JIT: FullSpeedDebug: ignoring countString>
JVMJ9VM015W Initialization error for library j9shr24(13): JVMJ9VM009E J9VMDllMain failed

Per the JVMSHRC154E, it appears that somehow -Xshareclasses:name=...%g... is being added to your server JVM command line. I do not know why there would be a difference between Eclipse and the command-line (perhaps a product issue that should be reported to IBM), but you could try working around the issue by adding -Xshareclasses:nonfatal to your server's generic JVM arguments.

IBM has released development tools for WebSphere Application Server (WAS).
You can download it from eclipse market place.
There are tools for the WAS7 and up. (IBM Information page)
You probably need WAS 7 Tools - marketplace page.
The short instruction is:
In the eclipse click Help->Eclipse Market Place->Search WebSphere Application Server Tools.

Inside eclipse installation folder go to \plugins.....\cdcla\eclipse\launch\simple.
Open the file websphere70.properties.
You will see the following content and remove the
"_%g"
part and save it
shareclasses=webspherev70_%g,groupAccess,nonfatal

Apache Tomcat Exception in Console on Startup

I'm using tomcat to run a web application. Without any projects added to my Tomcat v6.0 Server at localhost, I start the server and an exception is being thrown. It says there isn't a mapping for class sun.awt.AppContext I'm using jre6 as my runtime. I have my JAVA_HOME environmental variation set to the jre6 folder and I have Eclipse set to the same one. Do you know why I am getting this exception and how to resolve?
Here is my stack trace:

Thank you for your thoughts!

I'm pretty sure your problem is HP QuickTest.
HP QuickTest sets up JVM options which modify the java bootclasspath - nasty.
I'm not sure exactly how it works, but I'm guessing that it sets an environment variable JAVA_OPTS (which is picked up by Tomcat's startup scripts)
3 options (first is definite, second & third are based on my guess above):
Try uninstalling HP QuickTest
Open up bin\catalina.bat inside your Tomcat installation, and try resetting JAVA_OPTS at the start of the script.
Something like this:
echo "Current JAVA_OPTS (resetting to ''):"
echo %JAVA_OPTS%
set JAVA_OPTS=""
3: Or, try setting JAVA_OPTS variable (to empty string) in your Eclipse server startup dialog

i also faced the same issue, but my Apache Tomcat loaded through Cargo Container wrapper.
So I removed these 2 env. variable to fix the issue
JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS -agentlib:jvmhook
_classload_hook jvmhook

Hibernate fails with NullPointerException in EntityTuplizerFactory.constructTuplizer? Why?

I have a problem when I try to instantiate Hibernate and connect with a MySQL database (see error message below).
Curiously enough the connection works fine using the exact same hibernate.cfg.xml file when running Junit tests but it refuses to work when run from Tomcat...
I am starting to run out of ideas.
Any clues or tip where to look?

I'm writing this for future Googlers and reference.
I've done some more research and the root source of the problem is still not known. However the following article throw me on the right track.
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/installing-tomcat-6-on-ubuntu/
It seems like the Tomcat (version 6 at least) packages available in Ubuntu (and Debian) are not working correctly. Instead I installed Tomcat using the following guide:
http://www.ctrip.ufl.edu/tomcat6-debian-lenny-howto
While this might not be the premium choice of installation it seems necessary to get Tomcat version 6 running without problems on Ubuntu and/or Debian Lenny.

In my case, this error was resolved by switching the <dependency/> order in my pom.xml. When hibernate (3.2.7.ga) comes before hibernate-annotations (3.4.0.GA) this error occurs. The other way around, it works fine. This is the case even with scope=compile.
I would guess that you need to tweak your classpath, except that (assuming you've dropped both jars in WEB-INF/lib) it should alpha-sort in the correct order. But maybe this will give someone a hint on how to move forward.

In my case it was a simple mistake - the config file *.hbm.xml had a property that the mapped object didnt have! I also heard of cases of that error apearing when you misspell a get/set function - very similar to my case.

I was facing the same problem. It went away after I downloaded "javassist.jar" and put it in the classpath: http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/JKL/Downloadjavassistjar.htm

This is how the Tomcat daemon process looks:

-cp /usr/share/java/commons-daemon.jar:/usr/share/tomcat6/bin/bootstrap.jar
-outfile SYSLOG -errfile SYSLOG -pidfile /var/run/tomcat6.pid

-Djava.endorsed.dirs=/usr/share/tomcat6/endorsed

-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=/var/lib/tomcat6/conf/logging.properties
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap
This is how the Tomcat process looks when run from within Eclipse using the Sysdeo Tomcat launcher plugin:
(this one actually works)
jzaruba 2655 19.7 4.5 358304 46152 ? Sl 15:43 0:01

/usr/share/tomcat6/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.15/lib/tools.jar
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
The working one (Eclipse launched) is run using java-6-sun-1.6.0.15, I'm Windows user so I don't know how to tell which JRE is used for /usr/lib/jsvc (looking at it though), but my guess would be it is some OpenJDK... Could this be the difference?
update: jsvc probably uses the same JRE Sysdeo Tomcat launcher does
