java version used by IAM? [message #494274]

Hi,

Maven uses the JAVA_HOME for all execution activities.

What is the corresponding Java Runtime environment that IAM uses during execution?

I am using IAM 0.9 within RAD 7.5.

The "Installed JRE" in preferences is pointing to 1.5. version.
The Java_Home is pointing to 1.5 JDK version
The compiler plugin within POM is configured to use 1.5 version

However when enforcer:display-info goal is executed, it shows up the jdk as 1.6 version. The output line is

JDK Version: 1.6.0 normalized as: 1.6.0

RAD itself runs with a JRE of 1.6. So is that the one that is being picked up?

Is there a way to configure IAM to use a specific JRE?

Regards,
Ashish

IAM uses the same Java that Eclipse is running, because it runs Maven
in-process, without forking the JVM
You can configure some plugins to fork and use different Java version,
like the Compiler or Surefire plugins if you need to.
