Hi,

You mean tools.jar, not tool.jar.  And this is a solution you cannot
legally distribute, except if you distribute the complete JDK.  In
contrast, Fiji's javac.jar is derived from OpenJDK under the GPL, so you
are legally entitled to distribute it as long as you promise to provide
the sources for free (or almost free).

So if you want to copy your setup somewhere else, I'd strongly advise to
distribute the javac.jar.
