The entry for this in the Maven FAQ does exactly that (though it does
recommend the '..' use).

transitive dependency not finding its artifact

BTW, it is a bad practice to use "..' reference from
JRE, because tools.jar is actually part of JDK, but JRE not necessarily
mean that you have JDK around. So, I' would suggest to set JAVA_HOME to
the proper JDK and use {$java.home}/lib/tools.jar path instead.
Anyways, please consider to contribute to the project
FAQ at http://docs.codehaus.org/display/M2ECLIPSE/Project+FAQ
Even that's a bad idea because not all JDKs provide a
tools.jar... for example the Mac OSX JDK bundles the tools.jar code
into the classes.jar
You'll need a profile for it at least.
