Ant is using wrong java version

Question

I\'m using Ant 1.7.0 and installed java 1.6 which is in JAVA_HOME.

I want to build a project using java 1.5, so I\'ve exported JAVA_HOME to be my java 1.5 directory.

Answer 1

According to the ant manual, setting JAVA_HOME should work - are you sure the changed setting is visible to ant?

Alternatively, you could use the JAVACMD variable.
