Benjamin Bentmann commented on TOBAGO-256:
------------------------------------------

>From the plugin's source code:
{code:java}
// we need to have tools.jar in lasspath
// due to bug in Apt compiler, system classpath must be modified but in future:
// TODO try separate ClassLoader (see Plexus compiler api)
if ( !isClasspathModified )
{
    URL toolsJar = new File( System.getProperty( "java.home" ),
        "../lib/tools.jar" ).toURL();
    Method m = URLClassLoader.class.getDeclaredMethod( "addURL",
          new Class[] { URL.class } );
    m.setAccessible( true );
    m.invoke( this.getClass().getClassLoader()
        .getSystemClassLoader(), new Object[] { toolsJar } );
    isClasspathModified = true;
}
{code}
hacking the system class loader is a no-no. They should create their own class 
loader.

>             Project: MyFaces Tobago
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Maven Apt Plugin
>         Environment: maven 2.1-snapshot + mevenide 2.3 + netbeans 5.5
>            Reporter: Milos Kleint
>
> the apt plugin seems to fail in embedded environment, like in the netbeans 
> IDE integration.
> when not forked, it cannot find the apt's main class for some reason. This 
> one could be either a problem in the plugin or somewhere in the classloading 
> of maven when embedding (or somewhere else)
> when forked, it fails to execute on windows platform where there is space in 
> the path to jdk. that one seems to be hardly a problem of embedding, but 
> strangely enough it seems to work on command line just fine.
> for details, see http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEVENIDE-482
