error: package com.sun.tools.javac.util does not exist

Question

I'm trying to run my play 2.0.1 application on Ubuntu 11.10 and when I visit domain.com:9000 I get this error in terminal:

info] Compiling 4 Scala sources and 6 Java sources to /var/www/clients/client3/web10/sc2lounge/target/scala-2.9.1/classes... [error] /var/www/clients/client3/web10/sc2lounge/app/models/Cron.java:29: error: package com.sun.tools.javac.util does not exist [error] import com.sun.tools.javac.util.List; [error]                                ^ [error] 1 error [error] {file:/var/www/clients/client3/web10/sc2lounge/}sc2lounge/compile:compile: javac returned nonzero exit code [error] application -   !

I have JAVA_HOME set like this in my .bashrc file:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java  #Which is a symbolic link to java-7-openjdk-common export JAVA_HOME PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin export PATH 

the output of java -version is:

java version "1.6.0_23" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11pre) (6b23~pre11-0ubuntu1.11.10.2) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b11, mixed mode) 

and the output of javac -version is:

javac 1.7.0_147 

My question is, why com.sun.tools.javac.util.List isn't included in the classpath?

Answer 1

This class is found in tools.jar, which is not part of the JRE.
