I have the following installed:

J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 7
J2RE SE v1.4.2_16
J2SDK SE v.1.4.2_16
Java SE Runtime Environment 6

And still, I do not have the "tools.jar" file that DrJava requires.

Someone please help?

Does this help?
Link to FAQ

edit:
I see you have the requirements installed, are you sure you have the JDK in your path? I know when I do some command line java stuff I need to setup my path variable.

I literally searched my hard drive for "tools.jar" and "*.jar" and neither result in finding the tools.jar file.

What sort of command line stuff?

I uninstalled everything Java, and reinstalled from the ground up. Works now. For some reason, the previous installs were corrupt in some way.

Use Eclipse IDE, you'll love it! A lot of companies uses Eclipse IDE to develop their projects, it'll prepare you for the long run.
