Hello! My Jenkins installation is running on a dated Ubuntu server. The version of Java installed via apt is 1.6.0_10. This version runs Jenkins.
The Jenkins installation has Oracle's JDK 1.6.0_34 setup in its configuration. Our job configuration uses this JDK for its JAVA_HOME. I noticed another environment variable, PATH+JDK pointing to $JAVA_HOME/bin. Here's the kicker. 1.6.0_10 suffers from a bug with generics. It was fixed before _34 was released, yet this Jenkins job is failing as a result of it. I had expected $JAVA_HOME/bin/javac would be the compiler used by Ant for the job, however it appears that I'm incorrect. Instead, it looks like /usr/bin/java is being called instead. How can I get Jenkins to use $JAVA_HOME/bin/javac, from within Jenkins? Regards, T. Anthony Rabaa (طلال رابعة)
