Good Afternoon Paul
The documentation for the ant javac task is available at
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/javac.html
2 things..
set fork = "yes"
take a look at the parameter called executable
Complete path to the javac executable to use in case of fork="yes"

Subject: Re: ant can't find javac compiler
Martin,
I tried changing my $PATH as you suggested but that didn't help. Also,
java and javac are both the same version (1.5.0_02).
I wonder if ant runs it's processes in another shell - one perhaps that
doesn't pick up my personal env variables? Maybe it doesn't even run them
in bash? Could it be that ant tasks are run by a different Linux user
which needs to be set up?
I'm thinking out loud... if that is possible by email!

make sure your JRE and JDK(SDK) are the same version
e.g.
javac -version Test.java
java -version
SHOULD report the same version Anyone else ??? Martin Gainty

Dear dev@ant.apache.org, I am using ant to compile my struts webapp. I
am using Linux 2.4.27 and running ant (1.5.2-26) from my shell which is
bash. My environment variables which I set in my .bash_profile are:
$JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_02
$CLASSPATH=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_02/lib:/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_02/jre/lib Here
is my problem. When I compile my classes using the default compiler for
my system (kjc) I get this error: error: Can't find default package
`java.lang'. Check the CLASSPATH environment variable and the access to
the archives Which I can live with (even though my CLASSPATH variable is
probably correct) since I really ought to be using the jdk1.5.0_02
compiler. If I set the compiler attribute of <javac> task in my
build.xml to modern, it should use the javac compiler that comes with my
JDK. When I do I get this error: 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 If I run the javac command
manually from the command prompt, something like this:
javac -cp MY/VERY/LONG/CLASSPATH/
src/uk/co/webotech/myproject/MyClass.java It compiles fine... By the
way, typing "which javac" in my shell returns
/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_02/bin/javac. How can I get ant to find javac? Any
help with this would be greatly appreciated! Paul --
