Hello all,
The AspectJ maven plugin needs to include tools.jar into classpath.
I suspect there are other Mojo plugins which need this as well - if so, we
need a common way to handle the tools.jar problematics preferably defined
within the mojo parent.
I would suggest a dependencyManagement and profile addition.
Thus, a dependency defined within the dependencyManagement section:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun</groupId>
<artifactId>tools</artifactId>
<version>${java.version}</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${toolsjar}</systemPath>
</dependency>
and a set of profiles defining the toolsjar variable:
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>standardToolsJar-profile</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
<file>
<exists>${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar</exists>
</file>
</activation>
<properties>
<toolsjar>${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar</toolsjar>
</properties>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>appleJdkToolsJar-profile</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault>
<file>
<exists>${java.home}/../Classes/classes.jar</exists>
</file>
</activation>
<properties>
<toolsjar>${java.home}/../Classes/classes.jar</toolsjar>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
etc.
Fair to place a JIRA issue, or do you feel it should be done in another way
(such as local to the Mojo projects which need the functionality, and thus
[unnecessarily] repeated between them?
