[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2376?page=comments#action_68008 ]
David Smiley commented on MNG-2376: ----------------------------------- On Darwin (Mac OS X), alter the mvn.sh script such that JAVA_VERSION is not consulted at all if JAVA_HOME is specified. For example, like so (not tested): {{ if [ -z "$JAVA_HOME" ] ; then if [ -z "$JAVA_VERSION" ] ; then JAVA_VERSION="CurrentJDK" else echo "Using Java version: $JAVA_VERSION" fi JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/${JAVA_VERSION}/Home fi }} Additionally... you might want the Java code that handles mvn -v to output the Java version in effect, in addition to the Maven version. > 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 > Fix For: 2.2 > > > The shell script outputs $JAVA_VERSION.

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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
