Light linker not found

[garymazz]

I just loaded the 0.1.0-snapshot. When running a light not found error is reported. Light is in the system path.

I'm using netbeans 8.1 as an ide.

Failed to execute goal com.github.wix-maven:wix-maven-plugin:0.1.0-SNAPSHOT:light (link) on project FOM2-Installer: Light tool doesn't exist C:\Users\xxxx\NetBeansProjects\Installer\target\wix-tools\bin\light.exe -> [Help 1]

This is my plugin code:

I found property ${wix.toolsPath}. Setting it seems to fix the issue. Please update documentation to include :<wix.toolsPath>${env.WIX}</wix.toolsPath>

Note it would be better to first try the system path when toolsPath is not set.
