Description
We have a project that imports BOMs from jboss (Kie, jbpm...) one of these boms has the artifact org.jboss:jboss-parent:11:jar as its parent.
This POM has the following lines:
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun</groupId>
<artifactId>tools</artifactId>
<scope>system</scope>
<version>1.6</version>
<systemPath>${com.sun.tools.path}</systemPath>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
The property com.sun.tools.path is defined in the same POM as ${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar.
When the Maven Dependency Processor Task is executed, it fails with the following message:
error 10-Jun-2015 11:49:38 Automatic Maven plan dependencies processing failed: org.apache.maven.project.ProjectBuildingException: Some problems were encountered while processing the POMs:
[ERROR] 'dependencyManagement.dependencies.dependency.systemPath' for com.sun:tools:jar must specify an absolute path but is ${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar @ org.jboss:jboss-parent:11, D:\maven_repository\.m2\repository\org\jboss\jboss-parent\11\jboss-parent-11.pom, line 171, column 21
[ERROR] 'dependencyManagement.dependencies.dependency.systemPath' for com.sun:tools:jar must specify an absolute path but is ${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar @ org.jboss:jboss-parent:11, D:\maven_repository\.m2\repository\org\jboss\jboss-parent\11\jboss-parent-11.pom, line 171, column 21
I tried to override the value for com.sun.tools.path in the settings, but that doesn't seem to have any effect, not even in Maven (checked with help:effective-pom).
I added a dependency management for the sun.com:tools before importing the boms, that results in a correct effective pom. but the dependency processor still fails with the same message
