Summary0012056: Java: option to disable windows-registry in hints for FindJava and FindJNI
DescriptionIn some cases it is necessary to have full control over the actual JDK version used for building. E.g., when hosting a JVM in a C++ app the jvm library version to link against is important. Otherwise can crash if jvm dynamic library found at runtime is incompatible.

On windows, the Java search modules treat registry entries as first class hints.
More control could be provided if JAVA_HOME would be first here.

If this order (registry before JAVA_HOME) is of importance, then an option to disable the registry hints would be handy.

Does CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH work?

Is CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH related to this?

Added two patches that simply change the order of hints in FindJava/JNI.
Though, there might be reasons to have win registry entries at first place?

The user can set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH affect any find_*() command.

For the simple things (executables): yes
For others I suppose not: there are some things stored in certain deeper sub-folders

One could add more sub-directories to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, what would be like reimplementing FindJNI.cmake

If not a technical reason against, the proposed solution (reordering existing hints) would be all.

Sending old, never assigned issues to the backlog.

(The age of the bug, plus the fact that it's never been assigned to anyone means that nobody is actively working on it...)

If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^]

It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer who has the bandwidth to take it on, and ferry a fix through to our 'next' branch for dashboard testing.
