Description Jesse Glick 2012-08-01 23:06:07 UTC 
Sometimes you normally build a project with one Java version (perhaps just the default JDK) but on occasion wish to run a Maven execution (such as tests) using a different JDK, without bothering to switch the project's JDK permanently and thus write a nb-configuration.xml.

This is easily accomplished by adding Env.JAVA_HOME=<path> to the Properties text area of the Run Maven dialog, but that fact is not apparent. Suggest that the Add menu include a "Use JDK >" submenu with a list of registered JDKs, defining this envvar to the corresponding path for you.
