Hi,
we have a generic maven project/job to build release candidates of our java
components. All of them used jdk 1.6. But now, the first component wants to
use jdk 1.7. As I want to avoid job duplication only for the use of
different jdks, I want to choose the jdk on build start by an upstream
build.
Now I have the problem that it seems not possible to define the jdk to use
on start of a build tiggered by another build. I tried to pass JAVA_HOME as
environment parameter but it is not used.
We use jenkins 1.466-2 and I found the responsible code in [1] line 221.
There is no code to take the JAVA_HOME from envVars.
Is there any reason why this is not yet implemented? Otherwise I think I
could do this.
Thanks and regards,
Frederik
