Java - Missing Artifact com.sun:tools:jar:0 (POM.xml)

Question

I’m making that mistake on my POM.xml. Would anyone know what to say?

Variables

CLASSPATH = %JAVA_HOME% lib;%JAVA_HOME% lib tools.jar;%JAVA_HOME% lib dt.jar;%JAVA_HOME% lib htmlconverter.jar;%JAVA_HOME% jre lib;%JAVA_HOME% jre lib rt.jar;

JAVA_HOME = C: Program Files Java jdk1.8.0_71

Answer 1

Try one of these three ways:

1) In Eclipse, go to Windows -> Settings -> Java -> installed Jres -> select JDK and click Edit -> Add External Jars and add tools.jar (it’s in the folder lib inside your jdk installation on your machine).

2) In the eclipse.ini file, BEFORE line -vmargs, add the parameter -vm and, below it, the path of your jdk bin folder. For example:

-vm 
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_35\bin

3) In Eclipse, open your pom.xml file by right-clicking it and choosing Open With > Maven POM Editor. There, you will have a tab called Dependency Hierarchy. It has a search box, where you type in tools (the idea is to know if any lib of your project is dependent on lib tools.jar). If it exists, you should create an delete for it in pom. For a screenshot of both the tab and the delete in pom.xml, click here.

Answer 2

I was able to fix it. The problem was in the build of Maven when creating the folders in . m2. I created the folders by hand and updated project. After that everything’s back to normal.

Obg, you guys.
