-------------------------------------

             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 well—anyway, 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.
