Yes, that's what we used to do, because otherwise everybody would be required 
to install the full JDK. (Some of us had it installed anyway, of course.)

However, since a number of years, Ant doesn't require tools.jar anymore, at 
least not for our purposes. If I build the docs, I do get a complaint:

  Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Java\jre6\lib\tools.jar

But (at least on my system, and on most it seems) the build continues and is 
successful.
