Description

Buildr under OsX doesn't seem to respect alternative JVMs defined by the Java Preferences GUI and the JAVA_HOME enviroment variable.

After attempting to switch over to a 1.7 JVM I was unable to comple my code, Buildr gives a 'javac: invalid source release: 1.7' error. When I disable the system JVM (leaving just the alternative JVM) it gives a 'JavaVM: requested Java version ((null)) not available. Using Java at "" instead.' error.

Antoine Toulme on Stackoverflow suggested that could be an issue with Buildr not respecting JAVA_HOME on Mac OsX and asked me to create this issue.
