5 In my [previous blog post about Cross JDK project files with Maven](|filename|./cross-jdk-project-files-continued.md) I described a way to generate a custom JDK name into the Eclipse project files using the `maven-eclipse-plugin`.

7 That approach still had one shortcoming: you would either have to rename your JDK to match the default configured in the POM or you would have to give the JDK name on the commandline. Now I stumbled over a [good tip on the maven user's list](http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/org-apache-maven-plugins-maven-eclipse-plugin-2-7-SNAPSHOT-ignores-maven-compiler-plugin-td120284.html#a120285) that allows you to configure a sensible, cross platform default for the JDK.

9 In short, the trick is not to use a concrete name of a JDK but to specify the name of a Java runtime environment. Eclipse automatically tries to match any configured JDK to an internal list of runtime environments.
