I'm trying to run mvn site but I keep getting this error message every time. I've tried googling, but have not found any solutions. I'm currently on a Windows machine running maven from git bash.

[WARNING] Unable to create Maven project for org.crashub:crash.shell:pom:1.3.1 from repository.
org.apache.maven.project.InvalidProjectModelException: Some problems were encountered while processing the POMs:
[ERROR] 'dependencies.dependency.systemPath' for com.sun:tools:jar must specify an absolute path but is /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/../Classes/classes.jar @ line 98, column 19

Side note: I recomment not to specify repositories in your POM files but to use a Maven Repository Manager such as Nexus and to configure the settings file accordingly: stackoverflow.com/questions/29821920/… – Puce
Please provide the output (in the git bash) for java -version, javac -version, echo $JAVA_HOME and echo $M2_HOME – Puce
The link is: books.sonatype.com/nexus-book/reference/… – Puce
@Puce java -version shows java version "1.8.0_25" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b18) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode), javac -version shows javac 1.8.0_25, echo $JAVA_HOME shows C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25 and echo $M2_HOME shows C:\dev\apache-maven-3.3.1 – tomas
That looks fine, I think. What Maven command did you execute? Also please provide the output (in the question not as a comment) of mvn dependency:tree as it's not clear to me where crash.shell and the system dependency are coming from and if they are related. – Puce

I have found these 2 related issues:

https://jira.exoplatform.org/browse/CRASH-225

https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSHADE-185

So the cause seems to be in the Maven Shade Plugin: the CRaSH POM seems to use the Shade Plugin and then has the wrong, hardcoded systemPath.

According to http://www.crashub.org/:

CRaSH is officially embedded as Spring Boot remote shell.

So org.crashub:crash.shell:pom:1.3.1 seems to be related to Spring Boot, but I don't know what is meant by the warning: "Unable to create Maven project for [...]"

EDIT

Try to add the following dependency to your POM:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun</groupId>
    <artifactId>tools</artifactId>
    <version>1.8</version>
    <scope>system</scope>
    <systemPath>${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar</systemPath>
    <optional>true</optional>
</dependency>
