Trying to build PlayN sample projects I get:
Missing artifact com.sun:tools:jar:1.6 pom.xml /playn-cute line 6 Maven Dependency Problem
On every pom.xml
file.
How do I resolve it?
Edit:
I've added the profiles node to the pom.xml
, but the error remains. I've checked the tools.jar
is actually exists, and it didn't. So I've added tools.jar
to lib folder. And still the error remains.
The full pom.xml:

This artifact is always handled as a 'system' dependency. It is never stored in a repo.
See https://web.archive.org/web/20151031071007/http://maven.apache.org/general.html#tools-jar-dependency for the details.
if there is no tools jar, and you aren't on a Mac, you are trying to use a JRE when the requirement is a JDK. You can't turn one into the other by copying file.
