------------------------------------------

Thanks for your hint - in case of public machines I restrain from using remember me and just login once per day to follow the builds ;-)

> h3. Longer session timeout values for users logged in to Jenkins
> Since I'm trying to establish some builds for creadur under https://builds.apache.org/view/A-D/view/Creadur/
> and the builds wait in the build queue for roughly 2-3 hourse before running in minutes I'd like to have longer _timeout value_ for Jenkins.
> I seem to get logged out pretty fast - 30min?
> Since I trigger the build and check for any progress within the next hours it costs some more clicks to relogin and change to our tab .... https://builds.apache.org/view/A-D/view/Creadur/ is not publicly visible and I get redirected to the Jenkins main page after logging in after session timeouts. 
> A session timeout of 4 hours should be feasable to catch our slowly running builds.
> h3. JDK streamlining
> Currently there is a wide variety of JDKs available to run jobs on. It's not really clear whether all of the JDKs are installed on all build slaves.
> To my mind it would ease JDK selection if there were a 'JDK 1.8 latest' that links to the currently available Oracle JDK8.
> This would ease batch configuring jobs and most probably make it easier to deploy JDK updates on all slaves for you guys.
