Answer 1

jdk.tools:jdk.tools (or com.sun:tools, or whatever you name it) is a JAR file that is distributed with JDK. Usually you add it to maven projects like this:

<dependency>
    <groupId>jdk.tools</groupId>
    <artifactId>jdk.tools</artifactId>
    <scope>system</scope>
    <systemPath>${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>

See, the Maven FAQ for adding dependencies to tools.jar

Or, you can manually install tools.jar in the local repository using:

mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=jdk.tools -DartifactId=jdk.tools -Dpackaging=jar -Dversion=1.6 -Dfile=tools.jar -DgeneratePom=true

and then reference it like Cloudera did, using:

<dependency>
    <groupId>jdk.tools</groupId>
    <artifactId>jdk.tools</artifactId>
    <version>1.6</version>
</dependency>

Answer 2

maybe system install jdk package, but maybe some devel tools or plugin.

I find this problem under opensuse env. and I install java-1_6_0-openjdk-devel

the problem is disppeared..

Answer 3

I also faced this problem because I just only installed JRE not with JDK. So , adding dependency for jdk.tools can't fix for me because tools.jar was not exist at my ${JAVA_HOME}/lib/ directory.

Now I downloaded and installed JDK to fix it.

Answer 4

try :

mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=jdk.tools -DartifactId=jdk.tools -Dversion=1.6 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk\lib\tools.jar"

Answer 5

This worked for me:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>jdk.tools</groupId>
        <artifactId>jdk.tools</artifactId>
        <version>1.7.0_05</version>
        <scope>system</scope>
        <systemPath>${JAVA_HOME}/lib/tools.jar</systemPath>
    </dependency>

Answer 6

If you can live without tools.jar and it's only included as a chained dependency, you can exclude it from the offending project:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.ambari</groupId>
    <artifactId>ambari-metrics-common</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.0.0</version>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <artifactId>jdk.tools</artifactId>
            <groupId>jdk.tools</groupId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>
