according to this link the java SDK should contain tools.jar, however I can't find this library... Why isn't it distributed with the mac version?

Apple puts it other places... They have a non-standard layout for their JDK... It is always in the system classpath, so programs that need it should be able to find the classes... I assume you need it to invoke javac from some place? Like Jasper?

well, there's an Eclipse plugin that asks your location of tools.jar... But it's not available for mac if I understand correctly?

I used to have an app that wanted to know where it was... I created a dummy tools.jar using touch: 'touch tools.jar' and gave it that path... It stopped complaining and it worked fine since the classes were already on the classpath.
