tools.jar

[McElroy Sean]

Hello,

 

I'm getting this error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
com.sun.mirror.apt.AnnotationProcessorFactory, when I try to compile a
web-service project using jaxws-maven-plugin. I understand that this
problem relates to tools.jar. So having read the FAQ on the Maven site I
added this to my pom:

 

<dependency>

          <groupId>com.sun</groupId>

          <artifactId>tools</artifactId>

          <version>1.6/version>

          <scope>system</scope>

          <systemPath>${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar</systemPath>

</dependency>

 

but this didn't fix the problem. I have read a few posts about this but
none have provided the answer. Has anyone solved this?

 

Thanks,
