Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HADOOP-8187:
----------------------------------------------
I think we should just require developers on MacOS, Windows, etc, to set
{{JAVA_HOME}} to the location of a valid JDK, and error out if it's not.
Playing guessing games never works well in practice, and it leads to mysterious
build problems or even misbuilds when the "clever" code grabs the wrong JDK.
At least that's my opinion.

> Improve the discovery of the jvm library during the build of native
> libraries/libhdfs/fuse-dfs, etc. A couple of different ways are currently
> used (discussed in HADOOP-6924). We should clean this part up and also
> consider builds of native stuff on OSX.
