This is a bug. It should simply print the warning and move on. Not
having a tools.jar is not fatal, but you will not be able to compile
jsp pages.
I'll file a bug report on this.

This problem may happen if you try to run the server via the
standalone JRE (C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_05\bin\java.exe). You
need to run it either via the JDK (say,
C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin\java.exe) or the JRE shipped with the JDK (say,
C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\jre\bin\java.exe)
Almost there :) The problem is that the default jvm on Windows is
picked up from %WINDIR%/system32/bin. So, unless another jvm is in the
path first, that's used and brakes the run. However, you suggested the
fix and it works now. It's required to either specify the default jvm
in PATH or use the fully qualified path of preferred jvm.
I'd say majority of Windows users are at risk, and we need to fix it
soon.
Also, note that although the server started fine, the message from
ToolsJarHack says that the class still can't find tools.jar.
Thanks Gianny!
