I think I got it. In taglets/pom.xml, look for tools.jar. The vendor changed in the Java 7 version from "Sun Microsystems Inc." to "Oracle Corporation". That vendor name switch causes Maven not to see that dependency. Ouch. I changed the vendor name and it is not building under Java 7, or at least it has got past that error. We'll see in another 20 minutes or so if it completes. I wonder if we can simply list the JAR twice, once with each vendor? Maven seems to ignore the one it can't find. I wonder how this worked at all with OpenJDK? Do they just list themselves as coming from Sun for compatibility? -Rob > - 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.
