[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-24380) new default in parent pom: set jbosstools.test.jre.* = ${JAVA_HOME}

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-24380?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13400236#comment-13400236 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-24380:
------------------------------------

If you forget to set these variables...

{code}
-Djbosstools.test.jre.5=/path/to/jdk5/or/equivalent
-Djbosstools.test.jre.6=/path/to/jdk6/or/equivalent
-Djbosstools.test.jre.7=/path/to/jdk7/or/equivalent
-Djbosstools.test.jre.8=/path/to/jdk8/or/equivalent
{code}
...  on commandline, you get test failures like this:

{code}
[ERROR] com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not available in the classpath, requires Suns JDK version 5.0 or latter.	
unknown location	
	
compilation failed, errors should have been reported{code}

... buried inside a *jbosstools-webservices/tests/org.jboss.tools.ws.creation.core.test/target/work/data/.metadata/.log* file.

So by defaulting to JAVA_HOME (which is likely Sun or Open JDK 8), you at least get the tests to succeed.

Surely that's a good thing?

> In order to be able to more easily run server and webservices projects' tests, I suggest we set default values in parent pom:
> {code}
> -               <jbosstools.test.jre.5></jbosstools.test.jre.5>
> -               <jbosstools.test.jre.6></jbosstools.test.jre.6>

> -               <jbosstools.test.jre.8></jbosstools.test.jre.8>
> +               <jbosstools.test.jre.5>${JAVA_HOME}</jbosstools.test.jre.5>
> +               <jbosstools.test.jre.6>${JAVA_HOME}</jbosstools.test.jre.6>
> +               <jbosstools.test.jre.7>${JAVA_HOME}</jbosstools.test.jre.7>
