newbie needs help in install - maven artifacts missing

[karthik.raghunathan]

Hi

I'm installing Broadleaf to learn J2EE and probably start my own portal, if^h^h when I get good at it.
I followed instructions at http://docs.broadleafcommerce.org/core/ ... ng-started
<maybe not relevant>I think I accidentally ended up clicking the change-identifier link and changed the name </maybe not relevant>

I get the following error
Missing artifact jdk.tools:jdk.tools.jar:1.6
The container 'Maven Dependencies' references non-existing library 'C:/<home>/.m2/jdk/tools/jdk.tools/1.6/jdk.tools-1.6.jar


- why is it looking for this in my home/.m2 , and not from system java install area ?
- do I have to add pom dependency (tried this - did not really help ) ?
- why 1.6 ?

Could you help me resolve this ?
Thanks in advance
Karthik

Didn't know if this was a bug or issue in my setup. Have raised issue on Github. Will be thankful of any assistance.

This occurs on Windows and Linux but doesn't seem to happen on OSX. The fix is notated on the Broadleaf GitHub issue, https://github.com/BroadleafCommerce/Br ... issues/812.
