Running CentOS 6, Java 1.7.0_25 OpenJDK

Upon installing the RPM I saw it say 

Unpacking JAR files...
rt.jar
jsee.jar
charsets.jar
>tools.jar

Where is tools.jar located? I checked /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.25.x86_64

No where to be found.

Not sure what rpm you used, but if you install from yum repo, you should install java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel in addition to java-1.7.0-openjdk.

Then you will find tools.jar in /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.xx.x86_64/lib directory.
