Incorrect JRE classpath entry in eclipse .classpath file
--------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-937
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-937
Project: Maven 2
Type: Bug
Components: maven-eclipse-plugin
Versions: 2.0-beta-1
Environment: WinXP, JDK 1.5
Reporter: Oddmar Sandvik
This is an issue that was pointed out on this mailinglist in 2003 on maven 1.0
and eclipse:
When I run "maven eclipse", it generates the .classpath file with the
following entry:
<classpathentry kind="var" rootpath="JRE_SRCROOT" path="JRE_LIB"
sourcepath="JRE_SRC"/>
whereas when I create a project in Eclipse, a reference to JRE_LIB is
written as:
<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/>
With the former setting, your classpath only includes rt.jar, and
nothing else. As a result, you may fail to import some classes like
javax.net.*, which sits in a different jar file.
This seems to be sorted out in maven 1. However, "m2 eclipse:eclipse" has the
same problem today. I must edit the .classpath file manually after generation
- but this is of course overwritten whenever dependencies change and is not a
tenable option.
