Ant build not working: unable to find a javac compiler

Question

I am trying to run some Java EE examples. Ant is suggesting: Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK. It is currently set to \"C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7

Answer 1

This worked for me. Even after adding tools.jar if it shows that javac not found. Click on run-> external tools configuration -> jre -> seperate JRE make sure points to jdk -> apply -> run And then run the build.xml file Jusy make sure in installed jre you are pointing to jdk location. Hope this helps
