Parag Mehta commented on MECLIPSE-253:
--------------------------------------

Correction, should be a 'var' instead of a 'lib'.

<classpathentry kind="var" path="JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar"/>

> eclipse:eclipse should use classpath variable JAVA_HOME or JDK_HOME when writing .classpath for tools.jar

>         Environment: All.

> Classpath generated by eclipse:eclipse contains absolute reference to the jdk being used
> <classpathentry kind="lib" path="C:/app/Java/jdk1.5.0_11/lib/tools.jar"/>
> This creates a classpath that is not portable amongst multiple machines/developers (who may have the jdk installed elsewhere).  Using variables like JAVA_HOME or JDK_HOME would yield a more portable result (like users are expected to define M2_REPO or the plugin can do so).
> <classpathentry kind="lib" path="JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar"/>
> Thanks.
