[jira] Commented: (MJAVADOC-263) No respect for JAVA_HOME or PATH in locating javadoc executable

["Vincent Siveton (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-263?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=191332#action_191332 ] 

Vincent Siveton commented on MJAVADOC-263:
------------------------------------------

As described in [1], you could always specify the javadoc tool using the javadocExecutable param, ie

{noformat}
        <configuration>
          <javadocExecutable>C:\jdk1.6.0\bin\javadoc.exe</javadocExecutable>
          ...
        </configuration>
{noformat}

For other people's machines, just use env variables, ie:
{noformat}
<javadocExecutable>${env.JAVA_1.6_HOME}/bin/javadoc</javadocExecutable>
{noformat}

Does it help you?

>             Project: Maven 2.x Javadoc Plugin
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.6
>            Reporter: Benson Margulies
>
> I have code that runs into a java 1.6 bug in javadoc, so I'm trying to be sure to use the 1.5 version of javadoc.
> In my .mavenrc, I set JAVA_HOME to point to 1.5. I set PATH to find a 1.5 version of javadoc. I set my PATH in my shell to find the 1.5 version of Javadoc. Still, somehow, the maven-javadoc-plugin finds and runs the 1.6.0 version.
> Command line was:/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/bin/javadoc @options @packages
> I cannot embed a shared pathname in the POM which won't work on other people's machines.
