It depends on what the Lomboz plugin is actually doing with the tools.jar.

If it's opening it up as a JarFile and pulling stuff out, then the
work-around will be one thing.

If it's just checking for the existence of tools.jar, the work-around will
be another thing.

And if it's just adding tools.jar to a classpath, the work-around may be
something else entirely.

The simplest thing to try is create an empty jar-file (has zip-TOC, but has
no zip-entries) called "tools.jar" and put it in the expected location.
Then everything that thinks it needs tools.jar will see it, even though the
tools it thinks are there are already in the classpath, even without
tools.jar.
