Boot Hint does not work with Java JDK 9.0.1

See original GitHub issue

Error on start up:

JAVA_HOME environment variable points either to JRE or JDK missing "lib/tools.jar" hence Boot Hints are unavailable

Boot Hint works if I copy “lib/tools.jar” from older java jdk version to jdk-9.0.1/ folder.

I think , you can fixe it like this: copy all files in java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64/lib to java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib

we improved the way the tools.jar is being found in the next milestone update release (M8), therefore I am going to close this issue here.

The slowness when running on JDK9 that got mentioned in a few comments got moved to its own issue here: https://github.com/spring-projects/sts4/issues/36
