Why does ANT tell me that JAVA_HOME is wrong when it is not?

Question

I get the error:

C:\\dev\\ws\\springapp\\build.xml:81: Unable to find a javac compiler; com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath. Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not

It's also possible that you have included /bin in your JAVA_HOME setting, and Ant is adding /bin to it - thereby not finding any exe's. It's happened to me :}
