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.

> 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.
