Doesn't the build use ant? I believe that ant itself (or some of the ant-tasks) requires the presence of tools.jar. Also: if you need tools.jar, that implicitly means you need the JDK (because tools.jar is part of the JDK), even though you can usually get away with copying tools.jar from a JDK and use it in a JRE.
