10:09 qwe Hey I'm looking for tools.jar that should come with my jdk installation but it's missing in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-10.0.2\lib :(
10:09 qwe Have I not installed the JDK properly?
10:10 qwe I'm running apache ant and it's complaining that it can't find tools.jar in C:\Program Files\Java\jre-10.0.2\lib. Shouldn't it be looking in the jdk folder in the first place? Not that tools.jar is there in either of them.
10:12 qwe Is this something to do with the version of java I'm running? Would going with an older version get me my tools.jar file?
10:15 qwe Hmm. This link: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/migrate/toc.htm#JSMIG-GUID-2C896CA8-927C-4381-A737-B1D81D964B7B seems to suggest that JDK 9+ seems to have removed tools.jar so I guess I'll try installing an older version and see.
10:21 qwe Lo and behold, installing jdk 8 seems to give me my precious tools.jar file although it is in the jdk/lib folder instead of jre/lib :(
10:54 qwe Ant seems to have picked up on the hint and is able to find it in the jdk/lib folder instead (how?). So that is fixed (I think)
10:54 qwe Anywayyy, is this a dead channel?
11:11 qwe Dead men don't talk, I suppose. Bye :)
