I'm following this official Jenkins guide in order to become familiar with the Jenkins Pipeline configuration.
One of the steps there is to create a dumb slave and set it to "Launch slave agents via Java Web Start" but for some reason this option is missing from my configuration, the only other options I have are:

exists on the machine.
Any idea how to add it to Jenkins New Node configuration?
