[m2] Adding tools.jar to classpath
Hi
I'm new to maven and I'm wondering if there is a way to add tools.jar to the
classpath without placing it in the repository.
Thanks for any ideas.

Hi Matthew,
Something along those lines is probably a good idea. Can you file it in JIRA?

I am having trouble with adding tools.jar to my classpath. I'm compiling
against both the javadoc and apt APIs.
Tinkering with the bootclasspath or manually putting tools.jar into my local
repository are both icky - they work for me but not for anybody else building
the project. Since every jdk has tools.jar, could we not just have it
recognised as a dependency something like this and have m2 glue it in from
the jdk lib directory?
<dependency>
<groupId>sun.jdk</groupId>
<artifactId>tools</artifactId>
<type>jar</type>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Setting MAVEN_OPTS to -Xbootclasspath\a:%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar works for
me (WinXP, J2SE 5.0). But it may be a bit different for other JDKs.

Not really, it just ends up in the classpath then. A few reasons though:
- tools.jar is part of the JDK, not the JRE, so it wasn't meant to be put
there;
- it'll only work for you :)

Is there a specific reason why tools.jar can't or shouldn't be placed in the JDK's JRE/lib/ext directory. I've been doing that for about 7 years now, and I haven't been aware of any problems. But maybe I don't know what to look out for.

A better solution is to add it to the classpath at runtime.
See
