tools.jar on Mac OS X

[johanneslietz]

Hi!

I know this was mentioned before, but I couldn't find a solution for this:

JBoss is expecting the tools.jar under $JAVA_HOME/lib, but the JDK under OS X has not any.

Who knows the solution for this, and why the solution has not found it's way into the distribution (if any :))?

Thanks a lot,

Johannes

This was posted somewhere on the dev-list earlier
this year, but i can't find it searching of the forums.
You need to find the location for the compiler,
it is only required if you are using jsp.

I just set JAVA_HOME to /usr and jsp pages work fine even though jboss complains about the missing tools.jar

Thanks for your replies.

I just deployed a simple WAR-file containing some JSPs, and as they compiled I resume the warning can be ignored...

Anyway the startup script should be modified not to give that warning.

I read on the Jboss forums a while back that Apple package tools.jar in their own archive called classes.jar.

I'm using jboss-3.0.0RC3_tomcat-4.0.3.zip.

What I did to get rid of the error on startup is replace:

if [ "x$JAVAC_JAR" = "x" ]; then
JAVAC_JAR="$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar"
fi

with

if [ "x$JAVAC_JAR" = "x" ]; then
JAVAC_JAR="$JAVA_HOME/../Classes/classes.jar"
fi

in the run.sh file.
