Description Jonathan Dowland 2021-09-27 10:57:39 UTC

Description of problem:

/usr/bin/mvn calls "which" if JAVA_HOME is not defined in the environment when it is invoked. However, the RPM does not depend upon the "which" RPM, so "which" may not be installed.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

3.6.2-6.module+el8.4.0+9250+1786af37

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. unset JAVA_HOME
2. mvn
3.

Actual results:

$ mvn
/usr/bin/mvn: line 98: which: command not found
The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly
This environment variable is needed to run this program
NB: JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK not a JRE

Expected results:

$ mvn

Pre-verification:
Change which adds Requires has been added to dist-git.
Newly built maven Requires `which`.
