The tools.jar is in the usual JDK location and the packages are there. There is a way to run Maven where it shows the commands it executes and I may do that to see what the compile command looks like. Since Maven is synthesizing class-path parameters, it would be interesting to see what the compile command is and whether there is a command-line change in Java 7.
I'm out of time on this for now, but I will take another crack at it eventually. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Rob Weir [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2012 13:17 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: JDK 7 Results (was RE: [VOTE] Release Apache ODF Toolkit 0.5-incubating(RC7)) On Mon, Jan 2, 2012 at 1:35 AM, Dennis E.

If so, what happens if you just add it to the classpath? -Rob [ ... ]
