When I click on the install in any of my three MVC parts, it references the error quoted.

This is because compiling the code requires a JDK , not a JRE , which is what you are using because it is either PATH , or it is the default set in your IDE

See this excerpt:

tools.jar not found: C: \ Program Files \ Java \ jre1.8.0_31 .. \ lib \ tools.jar

tools.jar only exists in JDK , than a library not present in core java and contains utilities for JDK , including for compilation. To solve this you must first install a JDK and then configure it.

If you are using maven " embedded ", for example in eclipse, just go to Window --> Preferences --> Java --> Installed JREs and if there is no JDK added, just click Add... and choose the directory of JDK . See image:

If you are using the command line, set JAVA_HOME to the JDK directory (something like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_31 installed.

At the command line you will also need to set the environment variable PATH , adding %JAVA_HOME%\bin to it
