Matthew Pocock commented on MNG-806: ------------------------------------ This is great. Adding dependencies to the profiles section would work arround the issue with osx, and possibly be generally useful, particularly if there was a library of profiles & dependencies for different platforms. > tools.jar needs to be supported as a normal dependency > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MNG-806 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-806 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: Improvement > Environment: sun sdk > Reporter: Matthew Pocock > Assignee: John Casey > Fix For: 2.0-beta-1 > > > Sun SDKs have a tools.jar that provides API for extending the Sun java tools. > This includes APT and Javadoc. There is no mechanism in maven for loading in > tools.jar as a dependency. It can be added to the classpath before maven is > launched, or manually loaded into the local repository. However, neither of > these solutions are very satisfactory. > Could we have some smarts in the dependency loading that understands a > magical jdk groupId that resolves to the current JDK being used for > compilation? This would let JDK-dependent stuff be linked in. In the case of > tools.jar, the dependency snippet would look something like this: > <dependency> > <groupId>sun.jdk</groupId> > <artifactId>tools</artifactId> > <type>jar</type> > <scope>provided</scope> > </dependency> -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
