Maven : unable to find java.lang issue on OS X
java, macos, maven, runtime
Solution
I think I found the issue.
Apple has changed the rt.jar to classes.jar which is located in.
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/`<your_java_version>`/Classes/classes.jar
I need to modify my pom.xml to show it the path to classes.jar.
Edit : In a multi-mudule project. Creating soft links to classes jar in the lib directory is much better.
sudo ln -s ../../Classes/classes.jar ./rt.jar
Well `sudo` because writing in the result of `/usr/libexec/java_home`command ,which is your java home directory, requires administrator priviligies.
Problem
I getting the below issue when I tried `mvn clean install` obviously it is unable to find the run time jar but what I need to do ? the error log : ``` [ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR : [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------- [ERROR] Failure executing javac, but could not parse the error: [parsing started /Users/olgunkaya/workspace/CM2H/remoteaccess/osgi/ag.ra.common/src/main/java/com/ericsson/research/ag/ra/common/cthserverclient/IHttpClient.java] [parsing completed 42ms] [parsing started /Users/olgunkaya/workspace/CM2H/remoteaccess/osgi/ag.ra.common/src/main/java/com/ericsson/research/ag/ra/common/cthserverclient/CTHWebSessionException.java] [parsing completed 1ms] [parsing started /Users/olgunkaya/workspace/CM2H/remoteaccess/osgi/ag.ra.common/src/main/java/com/ericsson/research/ag/ra/common/cthserverclient/CTHServerSession.java] [parsing completed 14ms] [search path for source files: /Users/olgunkaya/workspace/CM2H/remoteaccess/osgi/ag.ra.common/src/main/java,] [search path for class files: /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/rt.jar,/Users/olgunkaya/workspace/CM2H/remoteaccess/osgi/ag.ra.common/target/classes,/Users/olgunkaya/.m2/repository/json/json-simple/1.1/json-simple-1.1.jar,.] Fatal Error: Unable to find package java.lang in classpath or bootclasspath [INFO] 1error [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------- [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 4.696s [INFO] Finished at: Mon Jun 11 07:54:00 EEST 2012 [INFO] Final Memory: 5M/81M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.3:compile > (default-compile) on project ag.ra.common: Compilation failure [ERROR] Failure executing javac, but could not parse the error: [ERROR] [parsing started /Users/olgunkaya/workspace/CM2H/remoteaccess/osgi/ag.ra.common/src/main/java/com/ericsson/research/ag/ra/common/cthserverclient/IHttpClient.java] [ERROR] [parsing completed 42ms] [ERROR] [parsing started /Users/olgunkaya/workspace/CM2H/remoteaccess/osgi/ag.ra.common/src/main/java/com/ericsson/research/ag/ra/common/cthserverclient/CTHWebSessionException.java] [ERROR] [parsing completed 1ms] [ERROR] [parsing started /Users/olgunkaya/workspace/CM2H/remoteaccess/osgi/ag.ra.common/src/main/java/com/ericsson/research/ag/ra/common/cthserverclient/CTHServerSession.java] [ERROR] [parsing completed 14ms] [ERROR] [search path for source files: /Users/olgunkaya/workspace/CM2H/remoteaccess/osgi/ag.ra.common/src/main/java,] [ERROR] [search path for class files: /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/rt.jar,/Users/olgunkaya/workspace/CM2H/remoteaccess/osgi/ag.ra.common/target/classes,/Users/olgunkaya/.m2/repository/json/json-simple/1.1/json-simple-1.1.jar,.] [ERROR] Fatal Error: Unable to find package java.lang in classpath or bootclasspath ```
