What causes your project to have a dependency on tools.jar?

I have been using maven on a mac for a while now and have never had to deal
with the tools.jar.

Hi All,

Discovering the joy of coding Java in a Mac environment I learned that
there
is no tools.jar in the Mac version of the JDK.
Consequence is, my projects having dependencies on tools.jar fail to
build.

So for the project with a direct dependency, I used Profile successfully.
I created one profile triggered by the OS family and everything went
smooth.

Now I got 2 problems:
   - it seems that, when inherited through transitive dependency, the
profile trigger is not taken into account
and tools.jar is added to the dependencies list anyway.
   - I got an ant plugin setup in the build section with tools.jar in the
dependencies section of the plugin.
What do I use to make the dependency conditional there?


thanks in advance

Jerome
