I followes instruction provided on https://www.eclipse.org/smarthome/documentation/development/ide.html to setup my IDE. All worked well except last step i.e.

command - mvn clean install

Getting following error -
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.openhab.tools:static-code-analysis:0.3.0:checkstyle (default) on project org.eclipse.smarthome.core: Execution default of goal org.openhab.tools:static-code-analysis:0.3.0:checkstyle failed: Plugin org.openhab.tools:static-code-analysis:0.3.0 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Could not find artifact com.sun:tools:jar:1.8.0 at specified path C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_152/../lib/tools.jar -> [Help 1]

Appreciate any help to get this resolved.

Their community page points at a https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=thread&frm_id=271 as their discussion forum, so likely better to ask there.

It looks like you are running Eclipse using a JRE. JREs don't include the tools.jar file. You have to install a full JDK in order to get the tools.jar file. You will also likely have to specify that Eclipse runs on the JDK not the JRE.
