Maven profiles for tools.jar should take account of Mac OS ---------------------------------------------------------- Key: JASSIST-44 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JASSIST-44 Project: Javassist Issue Type: Bug Environment: Maven version: 2.0.8 Java version: 1.5.0_13 OS name: "mac os x" version: "10.4.11" arch: "i386" Family: "unix" Reporter: Martin Burger Assigned To: Shigeru Chiba The pom.xml uses different profiles to add the tools.jar to the dependencies. However, it is already included in the runtime for Mac OS X and some free JDKs and does not exist as a separate file 'tools.jar'. See: http://maven.apache.org/general.html#tools-jar-dependency As soon as http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3106 gets fixed, activation should look like the following example: <activation> <jdk>1.6</jdk> <property> <name>java.vendor</name> <value>Sun Microsystems Inc.</value> </property> </activation> In the meantime <profiles> <profile> <id>tools.jar</id> <activation> <property> <name>java.vendor</name> <value>Sun Microsystems Inc.</value> </property> </activation> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.sun</groupId> <artifactId>tools</artifactId> <version>1.6</version> <scope>system</scope> <optional>true</optional> <systemPath>${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar</systemPath> </dependency> </dependencies> </profile> </profiles> should do the job. It could be a permanent solution because the different profiles differ only in the version element. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
