[news.eclipse.technology.iam] Re: IAM looking for Java tools in wrong pl

[amuino@xxxxxxxxx (Abel Muiño)]

This is caused by Maven using the same JRE you've used to launch Eclipse 
(since it runs inside eclipse, it is not using the project's 
configuration).

If the problem showed recently, that probably means that you added a new 
maven plug-in to your build which requires a JDK.

You can force the use of a JDK with eclipse by adding the -vm PATH_TO_JDK 
command line option when launching eclipse.
