Allen Wittenauer commented on YETUS-369:
----------------------------------------
FYI. Having hit this issue in Hadoop, Yetus has an interesting property. If a
JDK is given on the command line that is not installed, that JDK is effectively
skipped. What we've done:
* branch-2 supports JDK7 and JDK8. It's dockerfile has JDK7 and JDK8 in it.
* trunk only supports JDK8. It's dockerfile only has JDK8 in it.
When yetus runs, it can't find JDK7 so just assumes that was a mistake, ignores
it, and continues on only using JDK8. This, of course, requires docker mode
and custom docker files to use.
> Allow setting multijdk by branch; e.g. jdk8 for master branch but jdk7 for
> older branches

> Over in hbase, we'd like to have our master branch be jdk8 only but for older
> branches from which we are still making releases, we'd like to default jdk7.
> Mighty [~busbey] notes that this is not possible currently in yetus so am
> filing that I foresee projects needing this facility of yovely yetus.
