#13128 That was a surprisingly easy fix. :) I moved them to:
<my documents>\Arduino\hardware\arduino-esp8266-master\esp8266\
<my documents>\Arduino\hardware\arduino-esp8266-master\tools\
and now it works as described.

I guess I got confused because Arduino doesn't use a sub-folder for 'their own' platform hardware:
<program files>\Arduino\hardware\arduino\
<program files>\Arduino\hardware\tools\

[edit:] wait, no, after actually trying to compile and upload something, now I get the _dso_handle thing like this post: viewtopic.php?p=13056
The workaround suggested also doesn't work, that leads back to java errors.
Code: Select alljava.lang.NullPointerException
