unable to find javac compiler [message #51548]

Hi everybody.

When running ant tasks I get the following message.

[javac] BUILD FAILED: file:D:/Sun ONE
Projects/noah/NoahJava/build.xml:235: Unable to find a javac compiler;
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK

I added JAVA_HOME in Preferences->Java->Classpath Variables with the JDK
root folder but it still does not work.

Thanks,
Michael

You should try to add tools.jar in runtime settings for ant.

Or you can start eclipse with your JDK install using the -vm arg...then
tools.jar will be added automatically.
