Description

I checked out aspectj-maven-plugin from mojo sandbox, and I was trying to build it.

however, I encountered an error saying that tools.jar was not found.

to my understand, we need to install Sun's Jar separately due to the license issue. em.. ok!

but there is no tools.jar for Mac in /System/Library/Java/ Extensions. any advice? should I copy tools.jar from windows SDK to mac?

There are no tools.jar on a mac. The classes are included in the normal java runtime
( /System/Library/Frameworks/ JavaVM.framework/Classes/classes.jar.
Refer to this link http://lists.apple.com/archives/java-dev/2002/Jun/msg00901.html )

You only have to modify the <systemPath> pointing to your classes.jar on MacOSX.

        <dependency>
            <groupId>sun.jdk</groupId>
            <artifactId>tools</artifactId>
            <version>1.5.0</version>
            <systemPath>/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/ 1.5/Classes/classes.jar</systemPath>
            <scope>system</scope>
        </dependency>
