[ERROR] [Help 1] http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/DependencyResolutionException
'cmd' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file. 
 
La forma de solucionarlo es añadir una nueva dependencia en nuestro pom.xml, 
con la ruta a nuestra instalación de la jdk

<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun</groupId>
<artifactId>tools</artifactId>
<version>1.5.0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${java.home}/lib/tools.jar</systemPath>
</dependency> 
 
Y a funcionar ....
