#9 Can't launch webapp, "tools.jar missing"

[Anonymous]

Installed eclipse 2.1 and tomcat 4.1.24. While try to
launch the webapp, get "The tools.jar is missing. please
check a Java SDK is installed". Thanks.

You will probably find that you aren't pointing to a JSDK but
to a JRE in your Eclipse setup.

Look at the Window|Preferences|Installed JREs menu
and add a JSDK in instead of a J2RE path.

I replicated this bug by pointing to the J2re1.4.1_01 and then
resolved it by changing to my j2sdk1.3.1_01

hi,

I get the following error when trying to launch my application,
I am running the sdk and tolls.jar IS on the classpath...

Unable to find a javac compiler;
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK

Eric,

Sorry, but my English is very bad. 8-(

The plugin is searching tools.jar in JRE directory. You can to
copy file tools.jar to JREs directory lib or to go to
Windows/Preferences/Installed JREs option in Eclipse menu
and to modify the Installed JREs.
