Running mvn package gives the following error:

$ mvn package

  Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

  Then, install it using the command: 
      mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.sun -DartifactId=tools -Dversion=1.5 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

  Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there: 
      mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=com.sun -DartifactId=tools -Dversion=1.5 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

The following is the output of mvn --version:

$ mvn --version

Fails the same way when I try this as suggested by the maven output:

$ mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.sun -DartifactId=tools \
> -Dversion=1.5 -Dpackaging=jar \
> -Dfile=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/lib/tools.jar

I also tried adding the XML specified here to pom.xml and it didn't seem to work either: http://maven.apache.org/general.html#tools-jar-dependency

I'm getting the same issue :(

[nikz]

Same deal even if I check out any of the tags. Not sure how to fix this, not being much of a Java person :)

[nikz]

I fixed this by reinstalling java via apt-get and making sure that my JAVA_HOME environment variable was set to the path to the java binary on my system.

[josephruscio]

So installing the Sun JDK and then setting JAVA_HOME to this worked for me.

If you are on ubuntu and are using OpenJDK, make sure you sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk (or equivalent version in the future). It's not part of the standard openjdk that gets installed with maven.

Likewise on Centos6: sudo yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel
