Problem in configuring eclipse to point to a jdk instead of jre

Hi all,

I am trying to use eclipse as the IDE with the m2eclipse plugin; I
have created the project structure using maven2 in the command line;
then I create the eclipse project files with "mvn eclipse:eclipse"

When I import the project into eclipse... the maven2 builder has
errors such as "tools.jar is missing" or "1 artifact is missing"

I searched a few forumns and found that eclipse didn't use JDK but JRE
to compile classes and tools.jar is only available under JDK....

So my question is how to solve this problem? I've tried to create
another JRE to point to JDK folder... but failed

PS. I could build the whole project under command line "mvn clean
compile"

I'm using a Windows XP Professional OS; maven 2.0.7; jdk 1.5.0.12;
eclipse Europa
