[jboss-user] [Javassist user questions] - Javassist 3.5.SNAPSHOT
 Maven2 POM broken on Mac OS X

I've been playing around with maven2, using it to include microcontainer dependencies into JBoss Cache, and see the following:

|
| [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
| [ERROR] BUILD ERROR
| [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
| [INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.
|
| Missing:
| ----------
| 1) com.sun:tools:jar:1.5
|
|  Try downloading the file manually from the project website.
|
|  Then, install it using the command:
|     mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.sun -DartifactId=tools \
|       -Dversion=1.5 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file
|
|  Path to dependency:
|      1) jboss:jbc21test:jar:2.1
|      2) jboss:jboss-aop-mc-int:jar:2.0.0-SNAPSHOT
|      3) jboss:jboss-aop:jar:2.0.0-SNAPSHOT
|      4) javassist:javassist:jar:3.5-SNAPSHOT
|      5) com.sun:tools:jar:1.5
|
|

Googling around for a bit, I see the following that are relevant:

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-806
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-869
http://maven.apache.org/general.html#tools-jar-dependency
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Java/Conceptual/Java14Development/02-JavaDevTools/JavaDevTools.html

The problem with defining tools.jar as a dependency - even as a "system" scope dependency - is that this is only specific to Sun JDKs. Other JDKs (like Apple, which I use) have tools.jar classes in the Classes.jar archive, which is already in your classpath.

Basically, from what I gathered, this block in javassist's pom should only be enabled if the vendor name includes Sun Microsystems:

<profiles>
|   <profile>
|     <id>jdk14</id>
|     <activation>
|      <jdk>1.4</jdk>
|     </activation>
|     <dependencies>
|      <dependency>
|       <groupId>com.sun</groupId>
|       <artifactId>tools</artifactId>
|       <version>1.4</version>
|       <scope>system</scope>
|       <systemPath>${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar</systemPath>
|      </dependency>
|     </dependencies>
|   </profile>
|   <profile>
|     <id>jdk15</id>
|     <activation>
|      <jdk>1.5</jdk>
|     </activation>
|     <dependencies>
|      <dependency>
|       <groupId>com.sun</groupId>
|       <artifactId>tools</artifactId>
|       <version>1.5</version>
|       <scope>system</scope>
|       <systemPath>${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar</systemPath>
|      </dependency>
|     </dependencies>
|   </profile>
|  </profiles>
|
|

Cheers,
Manik
