Maven: Failed to resolve dependency: C: \ Program Files \ Java \ lib \ tools.jar

I am trying to use a plugin to load a web application in a local Jetty container from inside Eclipse. This seems to work for other people with exactly the same pom.xml, but I get this error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-maven2-plugin:1.0.3:start (default-cli) on project wsc: Failed to resolve dependency: C:\Program Files\Java\lib\tools.jar -> [Help 1]

How do i solve this? The project uses jdk1.7.0 as the "JRE System Library". I run Eclipse with "-vm", and even JAVA_HOME is set to the JDK path.

Any ideas? I have been doing this research for some time and am embarrassed about this. Documentation including tools.jar as a dependency did not help me.

Important: This seems to work outside of Eclipse, for example. a mvn -P local cargo:start.
