+  To avoid hard-coding a filesystem path for the executable, you can use a
+  property.  For example:
+
++-------
+          <executable>${jdk14.executable}</executable>
++-------
+
+  Each developer then defines this property in
+  {{{http://maven.apache.org/ref/current/maven-settings/settings.html}settings.xml}},
+  so that the build remains portable.
