You would indeed need a classloader with tools.jar in it. However, the
location is jdk specific (there's no artifact in ibiblio for it),
so maven can't provide it.
You could add it to the classpath yourself:
UrlClassLoader cl = new UrlClassLoader(
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader() );
cl.addUrl( new File( System.getProperty( "java.home" ), "../lib/tools.jar"
) ).toURL() );
(or something very similar) and use that new classloader.
Not sure this is the way to go, though..
