using a different JVM than the one used to run Maven when forking GWT processes

[abhishek kumar]

HI,

I want to run GWT with JVM other than used by Maven. 

I tried to follow what has been advised here at Support using a different JVM than the one used to run Maven when forking GWT processes · Issue #130 · tbroyer/gwt-maven-plugin (github.com).

I am trying use toolchain approach. Below is my toolchain.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<toolchains>
    <!-- JDK toolchains -->
    <toolchain>
        <type>jdk</type>
        <provides>
            <version>1.8</version>
            <vendor>oracle</vendor>
        </provides>
        <configuration>
            <jdkHome>C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_341\bin</jdkHome>
        </configuration>
    </toolchain>
</toolchains>

In the same pom.xml where I am using this toolchain, maven-compiler-plugin is able to detect the toolchain but not gwt-plugin. 

Below is my pom.xml:

<plugin>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                <artifactId>gwt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>${gwt.version}</version>

                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <configuration>
                            <module>com.msci.eqa.prodqa.admin.ProdQAAdmin</module>
                            <webappDirectory>war</webappDirectory>
                        </configuration>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>compile</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-toolchains-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.1</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>toolchain</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
                <configuration>
                    <toolchains>
                        <jdk>
                            <version>1.8</version>
                            <vendor>oracle</vendor>
                        </jdk>
                    </toolchains>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

Can  you please help me using toolchains to achieve this?

Thanks!
