🧠 Quick Quiz — Global Tools

#

If you configure a specific Maven version (e.g., 3.8.8) in "Global Tool Configuration" and check "Install automatically", when does Jenkins install it?

Immediately after saving the configuration.

During the first build that requests that specific tool.

When you restart Jenkins.

Never, you must install it manually.

Jenkins downloads and installs the tool (if missing) on the agent/controller only when a pipeline execution requests it.
