Hi All,

I need to have the JDK's tools.jar on my classpath and have been fumbling
through the configuration to make this happen.  I found the following page
which describes how to use the java.home property to locate the tools.jar,
http://maven.apache.org/general.html#tools-jar-dependency.  But I have also
found several pages, such as
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/MavenPropertiesGuide which point
out that java.home might be a JRE and not a JDK.  How can we ensure that
tools.jar can be found using a relative path from ${java.home}?

Does anyone know how java.home is computed?  I have read that it is not
always equal to the JAVA_HOME environment variable.

Also if context might help, I need the tools.jar to use the
maven-apt-plugin.

Thanks for any help,
Evan
