Dear List,
I recently upgraded my JDK from 1.5.0_04 to 1.5.0_06. Now when I run
mvn compile
I get the following error:
Unable to locate the Javac Compiler in:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\..\lib\tools.jar
Please ensure you are using JDK 1.4 or above and
not a JRE (the com.sun.tools.javac.Main class is required).
In most cases you can change the location of your Java
installation by setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
Note that JAVA_HOME is set to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_06.
There appears to be a built-in assumption somewhere within
maven-compiler-plugin that ${java.home} == ${jre.home}\.. While this was
true under jdk1.5.0_04, it is not the case with jdk1.5.0_06 (The JDK is
installed under C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_06, while the JRE is
installed under C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06). I've tried tracking
down the place in the code where this assumption is made, so that I could
submit a patch, and got as far as
org.codehaus.plexus.compiler.manager.CompilerManager, but I haven't been
able to track down the location of the Plexus SVN repository to research
further.
Before I post a bug report, has any body else encountered this problem, and
is there a patch and/or work around available?
Thanks,
Ian
