Have Java code output Java version, not the shell script
--------------------------------------------------------

         Key: MNG-2376
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2376
     Project: Maven 2
        Type: Improvement

  Components: Command Line  
    Versions: 2.0.4    
 Environment: Mac OS X 10.4
    Reporter: David Smiley
    Priority: Minor


The shell script outputs $JAVA_VERSION.  In my case, in an ill-fated attempt to 
get maven to use JDK 1.4, this was set to 1.4 but JAVA_HOME was already set (in 
.profile or wherever)  to that of the current JDK (1.5).  So it is inconsistent 
and led me on a wild goose chase to track down a problem.  If Maven is going to 
output the java version, do it from java code using the right system property.  
Only use JAVA_VERSION to help select a JAVA_HOME, if JAVA_HOME isn't set.

Perhaps there is some standard approach to this sort of thing but I am unsure.
