Answer 1

Linux Centos 6,

you can use sudo find / -name "tools.jar" command to find the file location.

tools.jar is normally located under /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0.70.x86_64/lib/tools.jar

tools.jar is not in JRE.

My case, tools.jar file is generated only after installing java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel.

sudo yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel
