Daryn Sharp commented on HADOOP-7305:
-------------------------------------
Explicitly including tools.jar breaks OS X because it uses a classes.jar
instead of tools.jar.
My understanding is that a JDK will implicitly load tools.jar/classes.jar,
whereas a JRE will not. The patch is adding $JAVA_HOME/../lib/tools.jar to the
classpath. The use of ".." leads me to believe the submitter set JAVA_HOME to
a JRE, and is using this patch to "break out" and load a JDK library.
If my understanding is correct, would someone please revert this patch?
Otherwise, could the classpath modification use a conditional so as to not
break OS X?

> After a fresh checkout of hadoop-common I do 'ant compile eclipse'.
> I open eclipse, set ANT_HOME and build the project.
> At that point the following error appears:

> The solution is to add the "tools.jar" from the JDK to the
> buildpath/classpath.
> This should be fixed in the build.xml.
