When you want to install development applications in Java, you're often asked for the JDK_HOME because they look for the binaries (javac, ...) in the $JDK_HOME/bin directory and the libraries (rt.jar, tools.jar) in the $JDK_HOME/lib directory. I didn't find the standard JDK directory structure in OS X. I didn't find the rt.jar, tools.jar and jpda.jar libs either.
Anybody knows how to solve this OS X specific issue?

Thanks in advance,

Luc Walterthum

I used Sherlock to search for them. I never found rt.jar (I think that's only needed for JRE when there's no full JDK?), but I found JPDA.jar. They're in the /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/ area. It took some very minor tweaking (on a file that's supposed to be tweaked anyways. *sigh*), but I got Together/J running.

More specifically, the Commands (bin) and Classes are in the following directory:

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.2/
