Build not working due to lack of JAVA7_HOME environment variable ---------------------------------------------------------------- Key: SHRINKWRAP-450 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKWRAP-450 Project: ShrinkWrap Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Chris Lowe Assignee: Michal Matloka Fix For: 1.1.3 Shrinkwrap nio2-api fails to compile, resulting in the following error: [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Building ShrinkWrap NIO.2 API 1.1.3-SNAPSHOT [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] [INFO] --- maven-clean-plugin:2.4.1:clean (default-clean) @ shrinkwrap-api-nio2 --- [INFO] Deleting C:\source\external\shrinkwrap\api-nio2\target [INFO] [INFO] --- maven-enforcer-plugin:1.0:enforce (enforce-java-version) @ shrinkwrap-api-nio2 --- [INFO] [INFO] --- maven-enforcer-plugin:1.0:enforce (enforce-maven-version) @ shrinkwrap-api-nio2 --- [INFO] [INFO] --- maven-enforcer-plugin:1.0:enforce (enforce-maven-environment) @ shrinkwrap-api-nio2 --- [INFO] [INFO] --- maven-resources-plugin:2.5:resources (default-resources) @ shrinkwrap-api-nio2 --- [debug] execute contextualize [INFO] Using 'UTF-8' encoding to copy filtered resources.

After some digging into this, it turned out this error was down to a missing environment variable JAVA7_HOME. This is not obvious from the error message. Currently in the shrinkwrap parent pom.xml there is a check for the JAVA5_HOME. Could an additional check be added at the same point for JAVA7_HOME?
