this is very tricky as each jvm distro have different location of tools.jar. i'll give it a look.

can you check on this though:

http://maven.apache.org/general.html#tools-jar-dependency

instead add it as a dependency to the maven plugin

That helped to solve the tools.jar issue, I added the following to the pom-libdoc.xml to see if it works, and the test is no longer complaining about a missing tools.jar. I am using an absolute path because ${java.home} did not work. However, there is a different issue now: libdoc.py requires a class from Java 6 and cannot find it since I am running with Java 5. Well that's just the way it is, probably we can't do anything about it. I'll try to come up with a test that does not document a java testlib.

default-tools.jar java.vendor Sun Microsystems Inc. com.googlecode robotframework-maven-plugin src/test/java/com/googlecode/ExampleLib.java com.sun tools 1.6 system C:/programme/java/jdk1.6.0_21/lib/tools.jar

I have a test now that runs fine with an html resource file. I would propose to replace the java lib test by this one. What do you think?

just gave you commit rights. go check it in and let's review it together.

i'll try to add something more "universal" regarding the tools.jar issue. as i am on a mac, this is why i don't have that problem.

This appears to be solved, the issue has disappeared.
