Well it's pointing to your JDK but only treating it as a JRE. When 
tomcat starts up it doesn't add the tools.jar to the classpath.

The way to fix this is to add tools.jar to your tomcat classpath.
If you had template compilation turned on I am still supprise your saw 
this message.

We need to change this error to something MUCH more helpful (Eg: 
Bodington cannot find the java compiler. Please make sure you are 
running bodington with a JDK and that tools.jar is on the servlet 
container classpath).
