Buiding Hadoop with Eclipse / Maven - Missing artifact jdk.tools:jdk.tools:jar:1.6
The problem is in the Eclipse Maven support, the related question is here.
Under Eclipse, the java.home
variable is set to the JRE that was used to start Eclipse, not the build JRE. The default system JRE from C:\Program Files
doesn't include the JDK so tools.jar
is not being found.
To fix the issue you need to start Eclipse using the JRE from the JDK by adding something like this to eclipse.ini
(before -vmargs
!):
-vm
C:/<your_path_to_jdk170>/jre/bin/server/jvm.dll
Then refresh the Maven dependencies (Alt-F5) (Just refreshing the project isn't sufficient).
jdk.tools:jdk.tools
(or com.sun:tools
, or whatever you name it) is a JAR file that is distributed with JDK. Usually you add it to maven projects like this:
<dependency>
<groupId>jdk.tools</groupId>
<artifactId>jdk.tools</artifactId>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
See, the Maven FAQ for adding dependencies to tools.jar
Or, you can manually install tools.jar
in the local repository using:
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=jdk.tools -DartifactId=jdk.tools -Dpackaging=jar -Dversion=1.6 -Dfile=tools.jar -DgeneratePom=true
and then reference it like Cloudera did, using:
<dependency>
<groupId>jdk.tools</groupId>
<artifactId>jdk.tools</artifactId>
<version>1.6</version>
</dependency>
thanks to npe, adding
<dependency>
<groupId>jdk.tools</groupId>
<artifactId>jdk.tools</artifactId>
<version>1.7.0_05</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${JAVA_HOME}/lib/tools.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
to pom.xml did the trick.
