Elliotte Rusty Harold created MNG-7010:
------------------------------------------

             Summary: omit "NB: JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK not a JRE" except when that is the problem.
                 Key: MNG-7010
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7010
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold


Got this message a bunch today:

 

$ mvn verify
The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly
This environment variable is needed to run this program
NB: JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK not a JRE

 

fair enough. My JAVA_HOME is broken, for reasons. However the problem is **not** that it points to a JDK instead of a JRE. Maven should omit "NB: JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK not a JRE" except when that is the problem.

Also, I have no idea what NB means here. Nota bene perhaps?
