configure: error: The path given by --with-boot-jdk does not contain a valid Boot JDK

Looks like JAVA_HOME was set to a JDK 8 binary

04:31:07  Required boot JDK version: 14
04:31:07  Setting JDK_BOOT_DIR to $JAVA_HOME
04:31:07  Boot jdk directory: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/adoptopenjdk-8.jdk/Contents/Home:
04:31:07  BOOT JDK: openjdk version "1.8.0_252"
04:31:07  BOOT JDK: OpenJDK Runtime Environment (AdoptOpenJDK)(build 1.8.0_252-b09)
04:31:07  BOOT JDK: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (AdoptOpenJDK)(build 25.252-b09, mixed mode)
04:31:07  JDK IN PATH: openjdk version "1.8.0_252"

@Willsparker IIRC you have dealt with this sort of problem before? What is the procedure for when we have an invalid boot JDK?

[M-Davies]

Ah I see why. It looks like it failed to download a valid boot jdk

04:31:07  Downloading GA release of boot JDK version 14...
04:31:06   > git rev-parse origin/master^{commit} # timeout=10
04:31:06   > git config core.sparsecheckout # timeout=10
04:31:06   > git checkout -f 6a5ffb79321034b8a001aed7ef805a1dd40c57f2 # timeout=10
04:31:07  Downloading GA release of boot JDK version 14 failed.

This is related to #1825

[M-Davies]

The API went down this morning so I'll let the builds go over the weekend and see if we see this again

[karianna]

I wonder if we should abort the byuild when that download fails with a clear message that we can't build due to a missing boot

[Willsparker]

@M-Davies AH, didn't know the API went down this morning. That would explain an issue I've been having :) What JAVA_HOME is set to shouldn't affect the JDK_BOOT_DIR (usually), but as you say, it looks like it just couldn't download one and so defaulted to JAVA_HOME.

I wonder if we should abort the byuild when that download fails with a clear message that we can't build due to a missing boot

Created #1826 to follow up on that ;)

AdoptOpenJDK APi server fell over last night and is now back so this is not arepeatable problem (although we should perhaps mention in it ithe intermittent failures issue)
