Herve Boutemy reopened MPLUGIN-202:
-----------------------------------
Assignee: (was: Herve Boutemy)
reverted since it wreaks havoc
some Maven developers are working with a Mac without problems, seems the
problem is more subtle: how is your machine installed?
> Dependency on tools.jar should be expressed with profiles
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MPLUGIN-202
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPLUGIN-202
> Project: Maven 2.x Plugin Tools
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: maven-plugin-tools-javadoc
> Affects Versions: 2.9
> Reporter: Chris Lott
> Priority: Minor
>
> The POM for org.apache.maven.plugin-tools, org.apache.maven.plugin-tools,
> Version 2.9 asserts a dependency on the JDK's tools.jar like this:
> {code:xml}<dependency>
> <groupId>com.sun</groupId>
> <artifactId>tools</artifactId>
> <version>1.4.2</version>
> <scope>system</scope>
> <systemPath>${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar</systemPath>
> </dependency>{code}
> This caused build path failures on my windows system that m2eclipse simply
> was not able to resolve, despite my use of the JDK, finally had to give up.
> I also note that on a Mac it will never work. Compare with the approach
> taken by artifact log4j, group log4j, version 1.2.16 for a tools.jar
> dependency:
> {code:xml}<dependency>
> <groupId>sun.jdk</groupId>
> <artifactId>tools</artifactId>
> <version>1.4.2</version>
> <scope>system</scope>
> <systemPath>${tools.jar}</systemPath>
> </dependency>{code}
> This "tools.jar" variable is defined in terms of machine profiles.
> Thanks for listening.
