Steve Loughran commented on BUILDS-38:
--------------------------------------
I don't disagree...the hadoop->java7 migration was a mess because we all
thought that the dropdown jdk settings were sorting things out. They weren't,
so the java8 builds were still on java6, as were the trunk builds when I
thought I'd switched them last week.
Ideally hadoop builds should go back to a shared SCM-managed env var file
setting things up, relying on those env vars JAVA8_HOME &c coming down, and
setting the build up that way. That would radically improve maintenance on 10+
builds
> java/latest symlinks point to non-latest versions

> the various java/latest symlinks do not point to the latest versions of java;
> attempting to use them means you end up with outdated versions.
