<description><![CDATA[
<p>This is a reference for the Maven Toolchains descriptor.</p>
<p>The default location for the toolchains file is <code>~/.m2/toolchains.xml</code></p>
<p>A Toolchain is a preconfigured object that Maven plugins can use for tool configuration retrieval (location and other information).</p>
<p>The <a href="/plugins/maven-toolchains-plugin/">toolchains-plugin</a> can read available toolchains on the user's computer
and match them against the toolchain requirements of the project (as configured in <code>pom.xml</code>):
if match is found, the toolchain instance is made available to other Maven plugins.</p>
<p>With <code>jdk</code> toolchain, for example, instead of being stuck with the JDK used to run Maven, all plugins can use
the same other JDK instance without hardcoding absolute paths into the <code>pom.xml</code>
and without configuring every plugin that require path to JDK tools.</p>
<p>See the <a href="/guides/mini/guide-using-toolchains.html">Guide to Using Toolchains</a> for
more information.</p>
