The Tomcat 4.0 install script, jakarta-tomcat-4.0-src\tomcat.nsi, references
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit\1.4\JavaHome to
copy tools.jar to the "Apache Tomcat 4.0\common\lib" folder. If JavaHome
doesn't point to the JDK but to the JRE as in my case tools.jar won't get
copied. Either manually copy it there or correct the registry entry and
reinstall.
Here's the revelant secion of tomcat.nsi:
ReadRegStr $2 HKLM "SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit\$1" "JavaHome"
CopyFiles "$2\lib\tools.jar" "$INSTDIR\common\lib" 4500

Sorry for the mix up.
The work around is to copy \jdk1.4\lib\tools.jar to the Apache Tomcat
4.0\common\lib folder.

A work around that works is to copy \jdk1.4\lib\tools.jar to the Apache
Tomcat 4.0\bin folder. Tomcat will then find tools.jar.
Check in your registry. I had HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java
Development Kit\1.4\JavaHome set to C:\JavaSoft\JRE\1.4 for some reason.
The JDK install did not set this correctly. I set it to point to C:\jdk1.4,
but it didn't fix the problem.
