Oh, yes, that's an old troublemaker. Some people have the JRE and are doing
fine, others get this error. Some even DO have tools.jar on their Java path
and still get this error. What you could do is download the JDK, extract
tools.jar, place it in the expected location, and hope that's enough.
(BTW, sometimes people get this error but the build is fine anyway. In
 that case, the easiest solution is to simply ignore the error message).

I'm still a bit puzzled by this error, because tools.jar shouldn't be
necessary at all...

You only need MSMincho if you want to build Japanese PDFs. If so, you have
to edit the file manual/config/ja/fop-userconfig.xml. Look for these lines:

	<font metrics-url="msmincho.xml" kerning="yes"
	      embed-url="file:///C:/WINNT/Fonts/MSMincho.ttc">
        ...
        ...
	<font metrics-url="msgothic.xml" kerning="yes"
	      embed-url="file:///C:/WINNT/Fonts/MSGothic.ttc">

and edit the file URLs so they are correct on your machine. I think that
most modern Windows versions come with these two font collections, but the
location may vary.


Good luck!
