Could not find artifact com.sun:tools:jar:1.5.0

【maven package】，则依然报错，但报的是另外一个错误：
[INFO] Scanning for projects…[INFO]

后在网上查找解决方法，有外国网友说，在pom.xml添加如下依赖即可：


com.sun
tools
1.5.0
system
${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar

不过，我试过还是不行，另一个外国网友说，把eclipse中的【Windows】-【Preferences】-【Java】-【Install JREs】改为JDK，而不用JRE，如下图所示：

虽然我勾选了JDK，但还是报错，看了错误，发现在 C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_01/../lib/tools.jar无法找到tools:jar，这让我有点纳闷了，明明已经选了使用JDK了，怎么还去JRE那里找呢，于是我把【Windows】-【Preferences】-【Java】-【Install JREs】中的JRE给remove掉，再次【maven package】就OK了。
