           Summary: missing dependency for tools.jar in windows
           Product: Kepler
           Version: 1.x dev
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2

The documentation fails to mention the need for a dependency on tools.jar in
setting up building Kepler with Eclipse in Windows.

Since tools.jar is not by default a dependency in the JRE path, the build will
give errors about a missing dependency on com.sun.javadoc in KarDoclet.java.

The steps to fix this in eclipse are:
1. Windows -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs
2. Select the default JRE -> Edit -> Add External Jars -> [Path to
JDK]/lib/tools.jar
