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

By default the Ant will considered the JRE as the workspace JRE version. You need to change according to your required version by following the below.

In Eclipse:

• Right click on your build.xml click "Run As", click on "External Tool Configurations..." Select tab JRE.

• Select the JRE you are using.

• Re-run the task, it should be fine now.
