I’m having troubles building webapi on my local mac (10.13.6). Maven error:
org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute goal com.qmino:miredot-plugin:1.5.1:restdoc (default) on project WebAPI: Execution default of goal com.qmino:miredot-plugin:1.5.1:restdoc failed: Plugin com.qmino:miredot-plugin:1.5.1 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Could not find artifact com.sun:tools:jar:1.6.0 at specified path /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-10.jdk/Contents/Home/../lib/tools.jar
I tried a few things, such as adding com.sun.tools to pom.xml; downloading the tools.jar manually, but was starting to get into hack mode. I did see some comments about the mac java setup being problematic, but have had no problems with other (trivial) java apps.
I got past the error by commenting out the restdoc goal for the miredot plugin, for now. WebApi builds now, but I get a fatal error deploying the war to tomcat. Something with the jersey Resource Configuration?

Working now, when I run entirely within IntelliJ IDEA. I was running tomcat separately and deploying the war each time I rebuilt. Will keep learning the framework and track down what I was doing wrong that way.
if possible, get an install of JDK 8. We’re still bound to this, although we are thinking about strategies to get us up to JDK 17+ while maintaining compatability/interop with other aspects of the community which are tied to JDK 8.
