According to bash configure my boot JDK is:

* Boot JDK:       java version "1.8.0_31" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment
(build 1.8.0_31-b13) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.31-b07,
mixed mode)  (at
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_31.jdk/Contents/Home)

Executing:

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_31.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/javac
-version

I get

javac 1.8.0_31

Is there a way of printing out the absolute path to the javac it might be
trying to execute?  I wonder if it goes looking elsewhere during the
build...

Cheers,
Martijn
