So will the proposed behavior be I upgrade Maven, I don’t have JAVA_HOME set 
manually and Maven will error out?

No, if Java in PATH is a JDK, it will continue to work as usual. This is probably the case on most dev machines.

Hi folks,

we all know that people once in a while complain that my JAVA_HOME is not 
properly discovered on $PLATFORM, etc. Surprisingly, we require JAVA_HOME to be 
set in the installation documentation, yet we discover it anyway. This is a 
contradiction. Moreover, our discovery mechanism can never be complete and 
won't. It bloats.

In MNG-6003 [1], I propose to throw away all of this code and solely rely on 
the dev's input. If he/she it not able to set it properly, he/she shouldn't 
write code at all. Most of the time, on Unix/Linux, this isn't even necessary 
because a JDK is installed by default.

I have created a feature branch [1] for this. If no one objects, I will merge 
this into master.

The change have been tested with, without JAVA_HOME and invalid JAVA_HOME on

* Windows 10
* Cygwin (Git Bash)
* Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (from /home as well as /opt and with symlinks from 
/usr/local/bin)
* FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE (from /home as well as from /usr/local and with symlinks 
from /usr/local/bin)

Please have a look especially on your platform.

Michael
