You need to add Tools.jar from the JDK install into your project's build path.

Right click your project in the Package Explorer, and go to properties. On the left, click "Java Build Path". Go to the "Libraries" tab and click "Add External JARs". Navigate to your JDK install and go to the LIB folder. Select tools.jar, and hit okay.

What I usually do is, in Eclipse preferences, I define an Installed JRE called "JDK X.Y.Z" and include tools.jar as part of it libraries. Then I change the project preferences to use that JRE "JDK X.Y.Z".

The other approach is to simply add tools.jar to your project's library or point to it in the project path.

Do you actually have a JDK installed, or maybe just an JRE?

The JDK's tools.jar is not typically included in Eclipse project class paths. You should avoid using com.sun.* code if you can.
