Maven can't compile class which depends on rt.jar

Question

CI-server (Hudson), for which I am responsible, builds Maven project. After the last commit, the build failed:

[INFO] -------------------------------------------         


        

Answer 1

Need to specify -XDignore.symbol.file and add rt.jar dependency and true as the compiler plugin will otherwise silently drop any -XD flags: e.g.

    ...
    
        groupid
        artifiactId
        1.0
        system
        ${java.home}/lib/rt.jar
    



    
        
            org.apache.maven.plugins
            maven-compiler-plugin
            3.3
            
                1.7
                1.7
                
                    -XDignore.symbol.file
                
                true
            
            ...
