Its been a while since I did a maven build under Jenkins or Hudson, but somewhere it notes that the system jdk is used to fire up Java-based build steps. There should be a checkbox somewhere in the config to start a separate Java instance and NOT use the default system jdk. Of course, that will require forking and starting up the different jdk, so it will slow your build down slightly...

That is, give the JVMs names in the global configuration, then set/override the location in the node config tools section, and then pick the JDK name in the job config. The location should get exported as JAVA_HOME. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
