The actual location of the SDK is not really a problem as long as JAVA_HOME actually points to a Java Software Development Kit. The fact that the mesage refers to C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_04\lib\tools.jar. makes me think that JAVA_HOME is set to "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_04". Your JAVA_HOME points to a run-time only install (jre). That is likely why you are missing bits that you need. Redo the Java install but making sure that you get the SDK not the JRE. The jre will be installed as part of the SDK but you want the JAVA_HOME to point to an SDK not just a run-time. Not a big problem (just a big download.)
