Maven: tools.jar not found when executing wsgen


I try to use jaxws:wsgen maven plugin from Windows 8 command line, but it fails with:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.mirror.apt.AnnotationProcessorFactory

I know this indicates Maven cannot find tools.jar in my JDK but I don't know how to add this (JDK is installed of course).

Here are some details about my configuration:

echo %JAVA_HOME%
C:\Java\jdk1.7.0_51

java -version
java version "1.7.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)

mvn -version
Apache Maven 3.1.1 (0728685237757ffbf44136acec0402957f723d9a; 2013-09-17 17:22:22+0200)
Maven home: C:\Program Files (x86)\apache-maven-3.1.1
Java version: 1.7.0_51, vendor: Oracle Corporation

Default locale: de_CH, platform encoding: Cp1252
OS name: "windows 8", version: "6.2", arch: "amd64", family: "windows"

So I also tried to add a profile section to my pom.xml:

<profiles>
    <profile>
        <id>default-tools.jar</id>
        <activation>
            <property>
                <name>java.vendor</name>
                <value>Sun Microsystems Inc.</value>
            </property>
        </activation>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>com.sun</groupId>
                <artifactId>tools</artifactId>
                <version>1.7.0</version>
                <scope>system</scope>
                <systemPath>${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar</systemPath>
            </dependency>
        </dependencies>
    </profile>
</profiles>

and execute

mvn -P default-tools.jar package

but I still get the ClassNotFoundException.

Full output:

Also putting the tools.jar into my local repository did not solve my problem.

Does anybody has an idea what to try next?

Thanks!


Solution

  • The full output (some context what plugin is having problems) would be useful. I'm not entirely sure, but I think that the jaxws maven plugin is missing the classes, not your application, so you should add the dependency to that plugin, not your application.
