#354 Fatal error: Unable to find package java.lang in classpath or bootclasspath

I have read somewhere that JDK 1.8 was needed, but I do not remember where. Perhaps it meant minimum? In any event, and realizing that my similar issue was on Linux, you still might go see my comments at Support requests #360/#359 presuming moderators accept them. In my response I detail that in one case, I had to go to Preferences and set the tools.jar location by browsing to it... not just by pasting in the path. I struggled with the symptoms you describe too. In the end, all I had to do was point DrJava to the tools.jar, whether by the preferences, or making sure it was actually installed.

Fatal error: Unable to find package java.lang in classpath or bootclasspath

I am a student learning about coding for my degree with little to no previous experience, and am admittedly very overwhelmed and confused. I am working on an assignment, and keep receiving the following fatal error: "Fatal Error: Unable to find package java.lang in classpath or bootclasspath " This occurs after I compile, and the compiler says everything compiled successfully, but when I attempt to run it, it says the interaction pane isn't in sync and I need to recompile. Further, if I look at the console, I see the above fatal error. I am completely at a loss as to how to resolve it. I'd appreciate any help I can get.

DrJava Version : drjava-20190813-220051
DrJava Build Time: 20190813-220051

DrJava Configuration File: /Users/timothyharris/.drjava

I have downloaded and installed JDK12.

Thanks in advance.
