Need to add this to the maven-enunciate-plugin:

                        
                            
                                com.sun
                                tools
                                1.7
                                system
                                C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\lib\tools.jar
                                true
                            
                        

Now it looks like this:

                org.codehaus.enunciate
                maven-enunciate-plugin
                1.25
                
                    ${basedir}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/enunciate.xml
                    false
                    false
                    false
                
                
                    
                    com.sun
                    tools
                    1.7
                    system
                    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\lib\tools.jar
                    true
                    
                

                
                    
                        
                            assemble
                        
                    
                
            

And then Downgraded to java 7 from 8.
