Dependency Error AspectJ Maven Plugin Installation For com:sun:tools:jar

问题

I would like to run the Maven project that I have on https://github.com/ihsanhaikalz/testMaven in the Eclipse 4.5 (Mars) but it gave me an error in the pom.xml as follow:

1 problem was encountered while building the effective model for
 org.codehaus.mojo:aspectj-maven-plugin:1.8 [ERROR] 
'dependencies.dependency.systemPath' for com.sun:tools:jar must specify an
 absolute path but is ${toolsjarSystemPath} @

I already installed AJDT for Eclipse 4.5 through http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/45/dev/update and when I pulled from my github the Eclipse started to download Maven plugin connectors and Maven integration for AJDT but the error is still there. I already tried follow this and this still no luck.

Here is my pom.xml

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

In the end I could not solve this problem 100% but I found an alternative solution to this problem by changing the aspectj-maven-plugin's version from 1.8 to 1.7. Here is the excerpt of the new pom.xml:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>aspectj-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.7</version>
    <configuration>
           <complianceLevel>${java.version}</complianceLevel>
           <source>${java.version}</source>
           <target>${java.version}</target>
           <showWeaveInfo>true</showWeaveInfo>
    </configuration>
    <executions>
           <execution>
                 <id>AspectJ-Classes</id>
                 <phase>process-classes</phase>
                 <goals>
                    <goal>compile</goal>
                 </goals>
           <execution>
   <execution>
   <id>AspectJ-Test-Classes</id>
   <phase>process-test-classes</phase>
   <goals>
       <goal>test-compile</goal>
       </goals>
   </execution>
                </executions>
                <dependencies>
                    <dependency>
                        <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
                        <artifactId>aspectjrt</artifactId>
                        <version>${aspectj.version}</version>
                    </dependency>
                    <dependency>
                        <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
                        <artifactId>aspectjtools</artifactId>
                        <version>${aspectj.version}</version>
                    </dependency>
                </dependencies>
            </plugin>
