Compile/install error related to tools.jar on Win

[dcavar]

I get this weird tools.jar error, probably from some dependency when using

mvn install

on Win 10 and Mac OS, not on Fedora. Cannot figure out which and why. Anybody some suggestions? Is this some slash vs. backslash issue on Win? What to do about it?

Thanks!

Hi @dcavar

What is the error message you get when doing it on Mac OS?

I am getting this on Arch linux, too. Any progress on this one?

tools.jar has been removed in jdk 9. Thus, it has to be excluded:

@trueg Your patch is included in the next release, thanks! @dcavar Does excluding tools.jar like @trueg mentioned solve your issue?
