[jira] Updated: (MRELEASE-310) ForkedMavenExecutor assumes mvn is on command-line path

     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-310?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Brian Jackson updated MRELEASE-310:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: ForkedMavenExecutor.patch

Attached patch with test case.  The patch uses the maven.home system property to find the mvn executable.  I now understand that the original process can't spawn children with a different maven version since the mvn script checks that the M2_HOME environment variable is set and matches the version running.

> The ForkedMavenExecutor assumes the mvn executable is on the command-line path.  This will cause the release goals to fail if mvn is run from an explicit path and the PATH environment variable has not be set to contain a mvn executable.  More dangerously though is the case where the release goal is started with an explicit mvn executable of one version (for instance 2.0.8) but a different version of the mvn executable is available on the PATH.  The forked processes will run a different version of Maven2 that the parent process.
