Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-5909:
---------------------------------------

I was chatting with Ryan via Hangouts, I think we should:
- use default JAVA_HOME as basis, check that it is Java 7, otherwise fail to 
run. So we donÄt need to pass crazy JAVA7_HOME env var. Because we have 
argparse, passing non-standard env vars looks wrong
- if you want Java 8 testing, you can optionally pass "--test-java8 
/path/to/jdk1.8.0": If this is done, the path is checked if it is Java 8, 
otherwise fail to run

By default it only tests Java 7.

For nightly-smoke ANT task, I will change the logic.

> In the past, when we were on Java 6, we ran the Smoketester on Java 6 and 
> Java 7. As Java 8 is now officially released and supported, smoketester 
> should now use and require JAVA8_HOME.
> For the nightly-smoke tests I have to install the openjdk8 FreeBSD package, 
> but that should not be a problem.
