A problem I had once was different location of tools.jar under Mac OS. Here's the profiles section to solve the problem:

    
        java-home-parent-lib-tools-jar
        
            false
            
                ${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar
            
        
        
            
                sun.jdk
                tools
                1.5.0
                system
                ${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar
            
        
    
    
        java-home-parent-classes-classes-jar
        
            false
            
                ${java.home}/../Classes/classes.jar
            
        
        
            
                sun.jdk
                tools
                1.5.0
                system
                ${java.home}/../Classes/classes.jar
            
        
    

However I am not sure this is something you're facing.
