Alexandros Karypidis commented on JBWS-2818:
--------------------------------------------

Guys,

I looked up the Maven docs and see that it only sets ${java.home} to point to the JRE (not JDK) home (see http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/MavenPropertiesGuide).

As far as I understand, ${java.jdk15.home} is a special variable that the user should set in their profile. Now, setting that variable simply allows one to point to the use of a specific JDK installation, in case a JDK 1.6 is dected by maven (the profile declaration becomes active when using JDK 1.6 anyway - see <activation> tag), while at the same time setting a compiler java version to 1.5. The more straight-forward way to do that is to set JAVA_HOME prior to invoking maven.

I figure it can be safely removed. For example, I can see that JBossWS-CXF does not have such a declaration.
