解决Maven工程中报 Missing artifact jdk.tools:jdk.tools:

jdk.tools:jdk.tools是与JDK一起分发的一个JAR文件，可以如下方式加入到Maven项目中：
<dependency>
    <groupId>jdk.tools</groupId>
    <artifactId>jdk.tools</artifactId>
    <version>1.7</version>
    <scope>system</scope>
    <systemPath>${JAVA.HOME}/lib/tools.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>

详见Maven FAQ for adding dependencies to tools.jar

也可以在本地仓库中手动安装tools.jar，如下
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=jdk.tools -DartifactId=jdk.tools -Dpackaging=jar -Dversion=1.7 -Dfile=tools.jar -DgeneratePom=true
然后在pom.xml中添加：
<dependency>
    <groupId>jdk.tools</groupId>
    <artifactId>jdk.tools</artifactId>
    <version>1.6</version>
</dependency>

 

 

Somehow, the eclipse in windows fails to pick up {java.home}. So, I had to set JAVA_HOME instead of java.home. JAVA_HOME was set in Run->Run Configurations->Environment. This worked for me with standard JDK(not Apple JDK).
