warning, for some reason the symlink does not work on the intel macs.
here is what I do (tcsh/csh syntax):
setenv JAVABASE /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0
setenv JAVAVERS Home
setenv JAVA_HOME $JAVABASE/$JAVAVERS
if (! -d $JAVA_HOME/jre || ! -r $JAVA_HOME/../lib/tools.jar ) then
cat << EOF
WARNING: you need to fix up your java installation (OSX ONLY):
# cd $JAVA_HOME
# sudo mkdir jre
# cd jre
# sudo ln -s ../bin
# sudo ln -s ../lib
# cd $JAVA_HOME/..
# sudo ln -s Classes lib
# cd lib
# sudo touch tools.jar
EOF
endif
I.e., since classes.jar is already in the path, just create a dummy tools.jar
to satisfy maven. I used to symlink it but for some reason this did not
work correctly on the macbooks (works fine on ppc macs).
