Once you have configured a new builder capability in your Bamboo system, its label (e.g. 'Ant') will appear in the 'Builder' drop-down list on the 'Build Resources' tab when you configure a build plan (see Specifying a Plan's Builder). The builder that you select when you configure a plan will be used for every build that is executed for that plan. That is, the plan can only be built by agents which have a builder capability whose label is specified in the plan's 'Builder' field.

(info) An agent-specific capability is a capability that applies to one agent only. Note that the value of an agent-specific capability will override the value of a shared capability of the same name (if one exists).

To configure a new agent-specific Builder capability,

  1. Click the 'Administration' link in the top navigation bar.
  2. Click the 'Agents' link in the left navigation column.
  3. The 'Agents' page will be displayed, showing lists of all Local Agents and Remote Agents in your Bamboo system.
  4. Click on the name of the agent for which you wish to configure a new Builder capability.
  5. The 'Agent Capabilities' screen will be displayed, showing a list of shared capabilities and agent-specific capabilities for your chosen agent. Click the 'Add Capability' link in the top-right of the 'Agent-Specific Capabilities' section.
  6. The 'Add Capability' page will be displayed (see screenshot below).
  7. Set the 'Capability Type' field to 'Builder'.
  8. Select the appropriate 'Type' from the drop-down list.
  9. In the 'Label' field, type the name that you want to be displayed in the 'Builders' drop-down list when a plan is configured.
  10. In the 'Path' field, type the appropriate path. This will vary depending on the 'Type' you selected in the previous step; relevant instructions will be shown below the 'Type'.
  11. Click the 'Add' button. This will verify whether the Builder and Path you have specified are valid. If they are not, re-enter the values and then click the 'Add' button again.
