Summary: DrJava confused with Jdk1.5.0_r4 on WinXP

Initial Comment:
Hi,

Firstly - I think DrJava is great, and it is close to
being "Just what I want" ..... but for the following:

I installed DrJava on WinXP, but it told me that it
could not find a compatible tools.jar. I pointed it at
the correct tools.jar in my jdk1.5.0_r4, and then when
I tried to compile I ended up with error messages:
    File: (no associated file) [line: (no source location)]
    Error: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
com.sun.tools.javac.util.List: method <init>()V not found
After some searching around, I found that the advice
was to install 1.5.0, rather than 1.5.0_r4. I did this,
and the problem went away.
although I still had to tell it where tools.jar was.

I found the same behaviour on other machines - in each
case having to install 1.5.0, and indicate where
tools.jar is...

Can someone indicate if these two things have a fix? Or
if a fix is going to be available soon? I would prefer
to use the latest release/patches for the JDK.
