It's set by the JVM itself - you will probably need profiles for the
different possibilities (like the Mac one, where there is no tools.jar).
Are you loading this via a dependency, or creating your own classloader?

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
