Could not find tools.jar. Please check that code example

Example: Could not find tools.jar. Please check that

On my system (Win 10, JRE 1.8.0, Android Studio 3.1.2, Gradle 4.1) there is no 
tools.jar in the JRE directory (C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_171).

However, I found it in C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre\lib and 
tried setting JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre

That works (for me)!
