title: How do you address the issue of a missing tools.jar in a JDK in Mac OS X?
body: <p>From my searching, I found supporting information here:  <a href="http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Java/Conceptual/Java14Development/02-JavaDevTools/JavaDevTools.html" rel="noreferrer">Java Development Guide for Mac OS X</a></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><code>tools.jar</code> does not exist. Classes usually located here are instead included in <code>classes.jar</code>. Scripts that rely on the existence of <code>tools.jar</code> need to be rewritten accordingly.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>If a rewrite is inevitable, how does that go?</p>
  
  <p>This problem was encountered while deploying on Tomcat 6 installed via MacPorts on a Mac OS X 10.6 machine.</p>
