Missing Artifact JDK Tools Jar

Some versions of Maven / eclipse will give you the below error in your pom.xml

Missing artifact jdk.tools:jdk.tools:jar:1.7.0_79

It is very easy to solve the problem. Simply add the below dependency to your pom.xml.

<dependency>
<groupId>jdk.tools</groupId>
<artifactId>jdk.tools</artifactId>
<version>1.7.0_05</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${JAVA_HOME}/lib/tools.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>

You might still see an error even after adding the above dependency to your pom.xml.

Maven Tools Jar Error

If you still see an error with the new dependency, which means the JAVA_HOME is not set and simply replace the JAVA_HOME with location leading up to lib/tools.jar and that should solve the issue. Note: you need to have JDK installed in your system for tools.jar. If you don’t have JDK installed, download and install it from the Oracle website.

<dependency>
<groupId>jdk.tools</groupId>
<artifactId>jdk.tools</artifactId>
<version>1.7.0_05</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_65/lib/tools.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
