Debian/Ubuntu, Solaris and Mac OS X (possibly others but these are the ones I know) have a mechanism for defining a default Java installation. So if the user doesn't define a JAVA_HOME, there is a well defined algorithm for testing to see if there is a Java installation. This algorithm is encoded in the Groovy startup sequence (sort of). If there is an issue then it needs raising for Groovy, Gradle and Gant. I can probably take responsibility for this. (I wonder if I should add Buildbots for Gradle Trunk for Ubuntu, Solaris and Mac OS X builds? Would it serve any useful purpose?) -- Russel. ============================================================ Dr Russel Winder Partner Concertant LLP t: +44 20 7585 2200, +44 20 7193 9203 41 Buckmaster Road, f: +44 8700 516 084 voip: sip:[email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK. m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected]
