any pointer would be appreciated

 

I believe what you need is this:
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/path.xml

 

i dont think that will help because of

Code:

C:\>java -version
java version "1.6.0_22"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 17.1-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

C:\>

 

Nvm then

 

You need the JDK not just the JRE.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

 

i do i have eclipse set up to point to the jdk

 

Then it seems you have not set your JAVA_HOME properly.

Code:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.0.2:compile (default-compile) on project bukkit: Compilation failure
[ERROR] Unable to locate the Javac Compiler in:
[ERROR] C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\..\lib\tools.jar

where should i point that too?

 

You have to point to your JDK folder.
For me its: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_24

 

ok
