error upgrading aspectj-maven-plugin v1.8

Question

Upgrading the maven plugin from 1.7 to 1.8 results in the following error message:

[ERROR] 'dependencies.dependency.systemPath' for com.sun:tools:jar must specify an absolute path but is ${toolsjarSystemPath} @ pom.xml /ash-domain line 1

Answer 1

I had the same problem and I've just added in eclipse.ini the path to the JDK8.
In my case:

-vm
C:Program Files (x86)Javajdk1.8.0_60injavaw.exe

(must be before -vmargs)
