Linux tests for R4_3_maintenance run with a 1.6 JRE, not 1.7 as advertized on the test results page. See e.g. http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/M20140205-0800/testresults/html/org.eclipse.ant.tests.core_linux.gtk.x86_6.0.html (scroll down, click "Properties"). For 4.3.1, the test results page did say "Linux, 1.6 VM": http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.3.1-201309111000/testResults.php Mac tests run with 1.7, although the links end with _macosx.cocoa.x86_5.0.html I don't need any infrastructure changes -- I just don't like wrong information.
Part of this is a dup of bug 390986 (the part about inaccurate labels), just recently rediscovered in bug 431047 and bug 431143). But, the part about the VM being "incorrectly set" was a valid bug, and even though we are not doing maintenance builds any longer, I have recently discovered the source of my confusion, or mistake in setting what was intended. The VM can be be specified in a few places, and I must have missed one of them. One of settings is specifically for the VM to use to invoke ant runner. And that one will be used to "run the tests" if no other VM is set. But, there is another place to set VMs (usually one, but could be multiple) to run specific invoke the tests with. So, I'll use this bug to "improve documentation" on where and what the various VM settings are for.
We "won't fix" anything for "4.3", but the general problem and solution is being tracked in bug 390986. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 390986 ***
