             Summary: Support platform-dependent tools.jar dependency
                 Key: MCOMPILER-175
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-175
             Project: Maven 2.x Compiler Plugin
          Issue Type: New Feature
         Environment: All, except OS X.
            Reporter: Sam Halliday

This RFE is to request built-in Maven support for the tools.jar dependency, perhaps as a parameter to the maven-compiler-plugin.
