When you start Tomcat (from the command line) what is your
classpath? Does tools.jar appear here? If so, then the problem isn't that
tools.jar isn't being included (obviously) and you probably want to post
your exact error message. If its not in the classpath, I would suggest
looking at tomcat.bat/.sh and how it builds the classpath to determine which
path of execution you are taking and why tools.jar is not included.
