Urgent: 'no compiler found' by DrJava

Hi fellows. Recently I formatted my system & installed 'JDK 5.0 Update 11'. I suppose that is a full JDK, not just an update? Anyway, I'm using a program called DrJava to write some small programs, & using this new JDK, DrJava can't find the compiler! I suppose it is a file named 'tools.jar', but now I can't find this file anywhere on my system!

Has it been renamed under Update 11? May I know the file name of the new compiler? Or can anybody point me to the new compiler? I need to specify a compiler in DrJava b4 it can compile anything.

This is quite urgent to me. Pls do provide some directions. Thanx in advance.

If DrJava cannot find your tools.jar file automatically, you can manually specify its location. When DrJava is running, selection "Edit -> Preferences...". Then, click the "..." to the right of the "tools.jar" field. There you can navigate to your tools.jar location.

On Windows, tools.jar is often located in C:\Program Files\Java\<jdk version>\lib\tools.jar

On Linux and Mac OS X, open a terminal and type "locate tools.jar". That should help you find your tools.jar.

Also, make sure that you installed a JDK 5.0 Update 11 and not JRE 5.0 Update 11.
