aspectj-maven-plugin

error upgrading aspectj-maven-plugin v1.8

Upgrading the maven plugin from 1.7 to 1.8 results in the following error message:

[ERROR] 'dependencies.dependency.systemPath' for com.sun:tools:jar must specify an absolute path but is ${toolsjarSystemPath} @ pom.xml /ash-domain line 1

Solution

  • I had the same problem and I've just added in eclipse.ini the path to the JDK8.
    In my case:

    -vm
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_60\bin\javaw.exe

    (must be before -vmargs)
