> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: server
> Affects Versions: 1.19.1
> Reporter: Julien Massiera
> Assignee: Tim Allison
> Priority: Critical
>
> If the user starting the Tika Server does not have the path to java
> configured in its PATH var, the following error appears in the logs :
> java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "java": error=2, No such file or
> directory

> By checking the TikaServerWatchDog class I noticed that the startProcess
> method of the ChildProcess private class is using the 'java' argument. As my
> user only have the JAVA_HOME configured in its /etc/profile and not the path
> to java, this explains the error.
> It would be better if the startProcess relies on the JAVA_HOME env var to use
> java instead of assuming that the java program is configured in the PATH env
> var of the user.
