I upgraded to JDK 8 but my atlas-version still shows JDK 1.6

[MattS]

Somehow the maven in the freshly re-installed SDK 5.0.13 is not picking up the new JDK 1.8.0_45 on my OSX box. Any clues for where to set JAVA_HOME or which mvn to update or something?

Turns out that on my machine

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK

was a soft link to

/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents

I removed the softlink and atlas-version worked as expected. Odd!

[MattS]

And I also had to tweak my pom.xml to <plugin> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <source>1.8</source> <target>1.8</target> </configuration> </plugin>

That helped. Instead of removing, I changed it to the 1.8 path {{sudo ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_60.jdk/Contents /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK}}

What is the return of javac -version? 

If this is 1.6, check your .bashrc_profile and them add the following lines:

JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.8.0.jdk/Contents/Home

export JAVA_HOME

export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

After that, logout from your shell and login again. Then, you can check your java version again:

javac -version

On these links there’re more details:

and

Hope this helps

[mdoar@mdoar2 ~]$ javac -version javac 1.8.0_45 Java is fine I think. mvn seems fine too. The problem seems to be the atlas-sdk mvn that is not picking up the new JDK.
