When installing NiFi in production, Ansible can be used to set up
JAVA_HOME. There is zero problem for users of NiFi.
However, from a development host, given the now rapid cadence of Java
releases, we sometimes run into problems launching a private
installation of NiFi in the course of testing or debugging our custom
processors because tools used minute-to-minute and all day long like
IntelliJ IDEA (and others) march on requiring later and later Java versions.
I found an old JIRA issue that suggests a solution for NiFi 0.1.0, that
of working around the problem by setting java= in /conf/bootstrap.conf/
to point to a valid Java 1.8 JRE/JDK. This sounds good to me, but the
version is very old.
Is this still best practice?
