为什么 maven 忽略我的 JAVA_HOME？

Question

This is what I'm getting when mvn is executed from CruiseControl:

Unable to locate the Javac Compiler in:
  /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/../lib/tools.jar
Please ensure you are using JDK 1.4 or above and
not a JRE (the com.sun.tools.javac.Main class is required).
In most cases you can change the location of your Java
installation by setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable.

At the same time, starting it from command line gives correct result. Why mvn is going into this tools.jar ? Why it is ignoring my JAVA_HOME ? And how can I fix it?

I don't know what are the values of JAVA_HOME/PATH when mvn is started from CC. I would really love to get this information but I don't know how. CC itself is started from user cc and env for this user gives me (it's CentOS 5.4):

JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/default
PATH=/usr/local/maven/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/home/cc/bin

Answer 1

我遇到了同样的问题，简单地重新安装 Java JDK 为我解决了这个问题：

apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk

Answer 2

Why mvn is going into this tools.jar?

Because tools.jar contains the com.sun.tools.javac.Main class which is used to invoke the javac compiler programmatically.

Why it is ignoring my JAVA_HOME

That's the "interesting" part (since it's working outside CC). Are you running CC with a dedicated user? If yes, is JAVA_HOME well defined for this user? What is the output of

echo $JAVA_HOME -or-
echo $PATH

Assuming that you have a linux machine.

1. Take a look on /usr/bin/java , this is a symbolic link. Look where is a target of this symbolic link (in my case the target is at this location /etc/alternatives/java )
2. /etc/alternatives/java is symbolic link too. Create new symbolic link to "proper" JVM (eg Sun's JVM)
3. Replace /etc/alternatives/java with newly created symbolic link.

This works for Ubuntu distribution. There is an automatic way how to do that but I forgot it actually :D

Answer 4

mvn runs everything in a command environment that does not inherit the local environment variables of your current shell.

export JAVA_HOME

first then your commands may work.

Answer 5

I ended up having to point to the Oracle Java 7 installations on Ubuntu. Gradle (1.6) does not seem to like sym links at all. So I edited the /opt/gradle/gradle-1.6/bin/gradle file to export a JAVA_HOME of /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle at the top of the script. It's happy now.

Answer 6

I know this is far outdated question, but I ended up there googling the same problem. So this solution also works fine: just put "fork='yes'" in "javac" task. After this javac task become honoring the JAVA_HOME setting.

在 Sun 版本中键入以下行

sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun
