[HBASE-13963] avoid leaking jdk.tools

• Type: Sub-task
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Critical
• Resolution: Fixed
• Fix Version/s: 0.98.14, 1.2.0, 1.3.0, 1.1.4, 1.0.4, 2.0.0
• Component/s: build, documentation
• Hadoop Flags: Incompatible change

Release Note

HBase now ensures that the JDK tools jar used during the build process is not exposed to downstream clients as a transitive dependency of hbase-annotations.

If you need to have the JDK tools jar in your classpath, you should add a system dependency on it. See the hbase-annotations pom for an example of the necessary pom additions.

Description

Right now hbase-annotations uses jdk7 jdk.tools and exposes that to downstream via hbase-client. We need it for building and using our custom doclet, but can improve a couple of things:

1) We should be using a jdk.tools version based on our java version (use jdk activated profiles to set it)

2) We should not be including any jdk.tools version in our hbase-client transitive dependencies (or other downstream-facing artifacts). Unfortunately, system dependencies are included in transitive resolution, so we'll need to exclude it.
