[MTOOLCHAINS-2] Dependencies with scope "system" (${java.home}/lib/tools.jar) doesn't use environment from toolchain

[jira-importer]

Denis Schettl opened MTOOLCHAINS-2 and commented

We need a system dependency (${java.home}/lib/tools.jar) with scope system.

<dependency>
   <groupId>com.sun</groupId>
   <artifactId>tools</artifactId>
   <version>1.4</version>
   <scope>system</scope>
   <systemPath>${java.home}/lib/tools.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>

Missing:
----------
1) com.sun:tools:jar:1.4

  Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

  Then, install it using the command:
      mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.sun -DartifactId=tools -Dversion=1.4 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

  Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there:
      mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=com.sun -DartifactId=tools -Dversion=1.4 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Du rl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

  Path to dependency:
        1) de.ipcc.quer.tools:jdi-profiling:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT
        2) com.sun:tools:jar:1.4

----------
1 required artifact is missing.

for artifact:
  de.ipcc.quer.tools:jdi-profiling:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT

An solution can be that toolchain supply an property with the jdkhome directory (e.g. toolchain.jdkhome), so that we can use this for definition of tools.jar like:

<dependency>
   <groupId>com.sun</groupId>
   <artifactId>tools</artifactId>
   <version>1.4</version>
   <scope>system</scope>
   <systemPath>${toolchain.jdkhome}/lib/tools.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>

This issue has been auto closed because it has been inactive for a long period of time. If you think this issue still applies, retest your problem with the most recent version of Maven and the affected component, reopen and post your results.

Michael Osipov I understand the issue was auto closed, but I ended up here because I too need the location of JDK home / tools.jar and am using toolchains in my build.

 

I am trying to create a multi-release jar for a Javadoc doclet. As you may know the Doclet spec changed from JDK 9 onwards.

 

I have the JDK 9 build working, I also have code to compile a JDK 8 maven module with the old spec which requires tools.jar system dependency. However, I cannot figure out how to locate it with help from the toolchains.

 

Is there a possibility to re-open this issue or point me to a workaround I could apply?
