jenv: Problem with jenv and maven plugin

I have set different Java version for my project. I’m building it using maven. I’ve enabled maven plugin in jenv but I have some troubles after rebooting machine. It sees that maven plugin is enabled but it causes maven to use wrong Java. I have to disable plugin and enable it again to work (see attached fragment from my terminal).

I’m using: homebrew - 0.9.5 jenv - 0.4.0 maven - 3.0.5

Additionaly I have: zsh + oh_my_zsh

I had the same problem and found a workaround by setting JAVA_HOME in ~/.mavenrc like this

JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v $(jenv version-name))

$ pwd
/tmp/test-1.8
$ jenv local
1.8
$ mvn -v

I had this error after updating jenv. I ran the following 2 commands to get everything happy. jenv disable-plugin export && jenv enable-plugin export jenv disable-plugin maven && jenv enable-plugin maven

I had the same problem, for me the issue turned out to be the file /etc/mavenrc which resets JAVA_HOME back to 1.7:

JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7`

I manually changed it to

JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8`

And that resolved the issue.

@gaetanlebrun : Instead, I removed JAVA_HOME from ~/.mavenrc and everything is working fine. Thanks for pointing that file 👍

Could you provide output of ‘jenv doctor’ ?
