When executing mvn --version, Maven displays Java version incorrectly ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4685 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4685 Project: Maven 2 & 3 Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.2.1 Environment: Microsoft Windows XP, Home Edition, vesrion 2002, Service Pack 3; Java 1.6.0_20 (has been updated automatically). Reporter: Oleksij Lupandin Priority: Minor I suppose, Maven detects Java version upon the folder name of Java home, and it is not always correct. My Java home is "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_15". My Java developer kit is updated automatically. Its version is 1.6.0_20 now. When I run command "java -version", I get the following output: ----- D:\>java -version java version "1.6.0_20" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing) ----- When I run the command "mvn --version", I expect output like ----- D:\>mvn --version Apache Maven <some values...> Java version: 1.6.0_20 Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_15\jre <other output...> ----- Instead, the output is as follows: ----- D:\>mvn --version Apache Maven 2.2.1 (r801777; 2009-08-06 22:16:01+0300) Java version: 1.6.0_15 Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_15\jre Default locale: uk_UA, platform encoding: Cp1251 OS name: "windows xp" version: "5.1" arch: "x86" Family: "windows" ----- So, the procedure of how Maven defines Java version must be corrected. -- 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
