Hi Harm,
Yes, this is a known problem (there's even a bug report against it:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25072).
The problem is in the way we look for tools.jar to add to the classpath.
Here's the code:
protected final File getToolsJar() throws FileNotFoundException
{
String javaHome = System.getProperty("java.home");
File toolsJar = new File(javaHome, "../lib/tools.jar");
if (!toolsJar.isFile())
{
throw new FileNotFoundException(toolsJar.getAbsolutePath());
}
return toolsJar;
}
Thus if tools.jar is not in java.home/lib/tools.jar you get the error.
Do you know where it is located when using Eclipse? Could you find out?
Thanks
-Vincent
