Description James L. Hammons 2022-08-16 14:42:00 UTC 
tools.jar has been removed from JDK 9+ and ant versions from 1.10.x on fully support this--therefore this warning is spurious for installations where JDK 9 and above are being utilized.

If the warning needs to stay in because some developers are still using JDK 8 and below, then at the very least there needs to be a check for the correct version of the JDK ant is using and suppress the warning if it detects JDK 9 and above.

I feel I should mention that this warning is not from upstream but comes from the Gentoo side.

Opened because bug #730456 said to.  :-)  Also, bug #682136 is relevant and could be closed once this one is resolved.

I am sure no one cares but there are patches to fix this attached to bug #730456.

persists with dev-java/ant-1.10.14-r1

$ ant -version
Warning: Unable to determine tools.jar location.
  If build fails because sun.* classes could not be found,
  Make sure you are using a JDK, not JRE as your user/system VM.
  and that you have java-config version 2.0.30 or above installed.
