Eclipse, maven and toolchains [message #903365]

Hi guys,
I am facing an issue with my project builds when importing them as maven projects on Eclipse (Eclipse 3.7.0 and STS 2.6.0).

It is complaining that it is not finding my toolchain

23/08/12 15:08:10 GST: [ERROR] Cannot find matching toolchain definitions for the following toolchain types:
jdk [ vendor='ibm'  version='1.5' ]
23/08/12 15:08:10 GST: Build errors for cust.search.entity.impl; org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-toolchains-plugin:1.0:toolchain (default) on project customeridentification.search.entity.impl: Cannot find matching toolchain definitions for the following toolchain types:
jdk [ vendor='ibm'  version='1.5' ]
Please make sure you define the required toolchains in your ~/.m2/toolchains.xml file.

When running the build from the command line though, everything works fine. Also, I have ensured that the same maven installation/setting.xml is used from the command line and Eclipse.

Where is the plugin actually looking for the toolchain.xml? It has to be picking it up from a different location.

Cheers
Kris

Just a question: Are you using the same JDK in Eclipse and from command line respectively JAVA_HOME has the same value? Eventually enabling debug output of maven may help to get more information about what is getting wrong (-X command line option i think).
The plugin tells you where it is looking for the toolchains.xml:
Quote:

Please make sure you define the required toolchains in your ~/.m2/toolchains.xml file.

And it is the only place where it looks for it (replace ~ with the java system property user.home).

Hi Benjamin,

thanks for replying and apologies as I did not see the reply.

To answer your query:

I agree with you, the plugin is looking for a wrong path for the toolchain.xml from eclipse. How do I replace ~ with user.home.

p.s : I am using windows XP.

Cheers
Kris

The ~ in the error message is part of a hard coded string. It is Unix style for the path to the currently logged in user's home directory and means the same as the java property user.home which is actually used if you look at the source code.
Btw did you follow my advice to run maven with debug output enabled? This may give you helpful hints.
