adding java core libraries from maven central repository - maven

Question

I am new to maven.
I was trying a simple maven project in which i want to include the core java library from maven central repository.
I found this dependency from search.maven.org
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.sun</groupId>
<artifactId>rt</artifactId>
<version>1.5.0_06</version>
<name>Sun Java Runtime Environment</name>
<description>Java Runtime Environment that can be found in Sun's JRE lib folder</description>
But maven stores rt's pom in local repository, i am not able to access rt jar which has java core libraries.

Answer 1

I suggest following :
# Create maven project using Eclipse
# Open pom.xml and add following build tag
Refer below sample pom.xml
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.ays</groupId>
<artifactId>java-solution</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<build>
<plugins>
<!-- Added Java8 support -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.8</source>
<target>1.8</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
# Right click on Project and choose Maven-> Update Project...
# Refresh your project you will see JRE System Library [JavaSE-1.8]
# Hope this will helps!!
