Hi Russ, Thanks for the info!
Unfortunately I had tried something similar before, and it doesn't work. I added the profile section, declared the plugin as follows: <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>cobertura-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.6</version> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.sun</groupId> <artifactId>tools</artifactId> <version>1.6</version> <scope>system</scope> <systemPath>${tools-jar}</systemPath> </dependency> </dependencies> </plugin> I still get the following error: [ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project enstratius-backend-server: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.enstratius:enstratius-backend-server:jar:j.0-pre1-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact com.sun:tools:jar:0 at specified path /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/../lib/tools.jar -> [Help 1] I'm guessing that because cobertura itself declares a profile, is mine not overriding it (see my reply on Aug 29) cheers, David On Tue, Oct 1, 2013 at 2:02 AM, Russell Gold <r...@gold-family.us> wrote: > Hi David, > > I am really sorry.
