Laird Nelson created MJAVADOC-394: ------------------------------------- Summary: javadoc is not found properly by default under Oracle's JDK 7+ on Mac OSX Key: MJAVADOC-394 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-394 Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.9.1 Environment: Mac OSX, JDK 1.7+ Reporter: Laird Nelson
The logic to detect where the {{javadoc}} script is located is not correct for Oracle's JVM 1.7 and higher on Mac OSX. The logic inside of {{AbstractJavadocMojo}} currently special-cases all JVMs running on OSX (line 3534): {code:title=AbstractJavadocMojo.java} else if ( SystemUtils.IS_OS_MAC_OSX ) { javadocExe = new File( SystemUtils.getJavaHome() + File.separator + "bin", javadocCommand ); } {code} But as of JDK 1.7 as distributed by Oracle, the default "else" block should apply here (line 3538): {code:title=AbstractJavadocMojo.java} else { javadocExe = new File( SystemUtils.getJavaHome() + File.separator + ".." + File.separator + "bin", javadocCommand ); } {code} The solution might be to modify line 3534 as follows (or perhaps also check for Oracle's vendor string as wellâanyway, you get the idea): {code:title=AbstractJavadocMojo.java} else if ( SystemUtils.IS_OS_MAC_OSX && SystemUtils.JAVA_VERSION_FLOAT < 1.7f ) { javadocExe = new File( SystemUtils.getJavaHome() + File.separator + "bin", javadocCommand ); } {code} Patch forthcoming. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
